Brucella Serology and History of Brucellosis in Patients With Modic Changes Type 1

June 1, 2021 updated by: Veysel Delen

Mehmet Akif İnan Education and Research Hospital

Objective: This study aims to examine Brucella serology and history of brucellosis in patients with lumbar Modic changes (MCs) type 1, considering results from cross-sectional and case-control comparisons.

Design: In comparative cross-sectional design, MCs type 1 patients (study group) and MCs type 2 patients (comparator group) were examined in terms of Brucella serology by using agglutination with Coombs test. In addition, in comparative case-control design, both of the MCs groups and age/sex-matched healthy controls were investigated for their medical history regarding brucellosis.
