Abstract

Objective: To investigate the differences in the occupation, age, gender and serum agglutination test (SAT) antibody titers between asymptomatic Brucellosis cases and acute Brucellosis cases, with the purpose of providing basic information to the prevention and treatment of Brucellosis. Methods: Using a completely random sampling method, 164 acute brucellosis patients and 160 latent brucellosis infections diagnosed according to the "Diagnostic Criteria for Brucellosis" in the Ximeng region from January to December 2019 were selected as the research subjects.Compare the patient's age and SAT titers after logarithmic transformation using two independent sample t-tests; Compare occupation and gender using χ2 test.Results: Comparison of occupation between the two groups of patients, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=15.837, P<0.05). Comparison of age and SAT titer in the two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients with asymptomatic Brucellosis were younger than acute Brucellosis cases, and the SAT titer of symptomatic Brucellosis cases was higher than acute Brucellosis cases. There was no significant difference in gender between the two groups of patients (χ2=0.018, P>0.05). Conclusion: The infection status of brucellosis may be related to occupation, age, and SAT antibody titers.
