Abstract
This article presents the results of a study on the diagnosis of the combined infection "brucellosis + toxoplasmosis" among the population of Azerbaijan. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and characteristics of detection of dual infection "brucellosis + toxoplasmosis" among samples received by the Special Dangerous İnfections Control Center. The results of the conducted study may have great scientific and practical significance both for fundamental science and for clinical practice. The analysis of the results of studies of the Special Dangerous İnfections Control Center’s laboratory of blood samples received in 2019-2021 from 3208 patients with suspected brucellosis who sought medical treatment in the country was carried out. Serological and molecular testing was carried out by generally accepted methods in accordance with the rules in BSL2.
