Brucella Agglutination Test
Introduction to the Brucella Agglutination Test
The Brucella Agglutination Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of antibodies against Brucella species in the blood.

Brucellosis can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, making early detection and diagnosis essential.
