Preferred Abstract (Original): 

Both the rapid slide and standard tube agglutination methods were used for the diagnosis of 112 blood specimens for Brucellosis. We found that 56% of the patients have a titer < 1:20 while 33% have a titer > 1:80. We found that the rapid slide agglutination method correlates well with the tube agglutination method.
