Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that contributes to severe global health and economic issues. In this study, the Rose Bengal Test (RBT), a crucial diagnostic tool for brucellosis in Duhok city, was evaluated in order to offer updated epidemiological data on this disease.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 339 patients suffered from fever and seeking medical attention in the private medical health center in Duhok city, Iraq, were enrolled after taking ethical approval from committee at Faculty of Sciences, University of Zakho and a verbal consent from each enrolled patient for using his/her blood and data. The blood specimens were tested for Brucella spp. Antibodies using the RBT and blood cultures, followed by spp. determination. A questionnaire form was designed to detect the associated risk factors.
UNASSIGNED: Prevalence of brucellosis was 12.6% among participants with a probable diagnosis and 10.3% among those with a confirmed diagnosis (positive blood culture). Most of the positive cases were between the ages of 20 to 40 years. A highly significant (P < 0.0001) association was found between brucellosis with both consuming raw milk and having contact with cattle. The most common species identified were Brucella melitensis (57.1%) and Brucella abortus (42.7%).
UNASSIGNED: Brucellosis is a significant cause of fever in the current study and can be detected using the RBT. Human brucellosis can be reduced by minimizing the chances of contact with cattle and consuming boiled or pasteurized milk.

摘要：
■布鲁氏菌病是一种人畜共患疾病，导致严重的全球健康和经济问题。在这项研究中,玫瑰孟加拉测试（RBT），杜霍克市布鲁氏菌病的重要诊断工具，进行了评估，以提供有关该疾病的最新流行病学数据。
■共有339名病人因发烧而在杜胡克市的私人医疗健康中心求医,伊拉克,在获得科学院委员会的伦理批准后被录取，Zakho大学和每个登记患者的口头同意使用他/她的血液和数据。对血液标本进行了布鲁氏菌属的检测。使用RBT和血液培养物的抗体，其次是spp。determination.设计了问卷形式来检测相关的危险因素。
■在可能诊断的参与者中，布鲁氏菌病的患病率为12.6％，在确诊（血培养阳性）的参与者中为10.3％。大多数阳性病例年龄在20至40岁之间。发现布鲁氏菌病与食用生乳和与牛接触之间存在高度显着关联（P<0.0001）。鉴定出的最常见物种是布鲁氏菌（57.1％）和流产布鲁氏菌（42.7％）。
■布鲁氏菌病是当前研究中发烧的重要原因，可以使用RBT进行检测。可以通过最大程度地减少与牛接触的机会并食用煮沸或巴氏杀菌的牛奶来减少人布氏杆菌病。
