title: An immunoblotting study of serologic response in patients with acute brucellosis.
abstract: Immunoblotting was used to study the evolution of serologic response in 35 patients with acute uncomplicated brucellosis. Although no definite pattern was seen in serologic response, patients whose disease had existed for longer periods before being diagnosed had antibodies against the different bands more frequently than did patients with a shorter first-symptom-diagnosis interval.
