Description: This is a blood test for brucellosis. Brucellosis is an infectious disease usually caused by handling animals or milk products infected with the brucella bacteria. If you have brucellosis, your body will make certain antibodies to fight the brucella bacteria. This test looks for those antibodies in your blood. It is often called Mediterranean or Malta fever. It's also called Undulant fever, Bang's disease, and Gibraltar fever.
