Article Synopsis
- Brucellosis is a disease that often affects people who have close contact with animals, and typically diagnosed through blood tests or serology.
- In a study spanning from 2012 to 2021 in Brussels, the number of Rose Bengal tests for brucellosis increased significantly, even though the actual number of reported cases remained low and steady.
- The findings suggest that unnecessary testing is happening, and recommendations are to limit testing to only those patients who show symptoms and have recently traveled to endemic areas.
