Expression of eosinophils be beneficial to early clinical diagnosis of brucellosis.

Objective: Investigate the expression and significance of eosinophils in brucellosis.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data for 151 brucellosis patients (BR group), complete blood count and blood bacterial culture etc.; in addition, 150 general bacterial infection patients (BI group) and 135 persons in healthy physical condition upon testing (NC group) are selected respectively as the control groups to comparatively study expression of white blood cells and eosinophils for brucellosis patients.
