The procedures were repeated in seropositive and seronegative human They were subjected to biochemical examination Biochemical studies revealed a signifcant ivcrease in sAST sALT , sAP and serum globulin meanwhile a significant decreasein total protein , albumin , calcium and inorganic phosphorous of affected sheep &men compared with the healthy ones One blood sample was taken on sodium salt of EDTA from each case of the above examined cases They were subjected to hematological study The affected cases both animals and human revealed normocytic normochromic anemia associated with higher ESR, leukocytosis neutrophilia and lymphopenia It could be concluded that brucellosis led to disturbance of general health condition of the host , so careful attention must be paid for early diagnosis of this zoontic disease followed by eradication of seroreactor sheep ;vaccination of non reactors and a therapeuticplan for the disease from workers.
