Background: Our aim is to investigate whether brucellosis causes carcinogenesis through studying the oxidative/anti-oxidative level and DNA damage in different serological titers of brucellosis.

Material and Methods: In the different serological test titers of brucellosis standard agglutination test (SAT): 1/40 = 12 people, 1/80 = 13 people, 1/160 = 13 people, 1/320 = 12 people, 1/640 = 12 people) and 19 healthy people were included in the study. DNA damage was investigated through 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine Cayman’s ELISA kit method. The total oxidative status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total thiol (SH) and lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) levels were analyzed through colorimetric method. Also, oxidative stress index (OSI) was found via calculation.

Results: It was realized that the TOS, LOOH, OSI and DNA damage gradually increased beginning from the control group and brucella SAT 1/40 titer and gained statistical significance (respectively at the 1/160, 1/640, 1/160, 1/80 titers). (p < 0.001). The TAC and SH however, was found to gradually decrease beginning from the control group and brucella SAT 1/40 titer and gain statistical significance (respectively, at the 1/320, 1/640 titers). (p < 0.001). There was a significantly positive correlation between serum brucella SAT titers and DNA damage, TOS, OSI and LOOH (respectively, rho = 0.796, 0.810, 0.389, 0.717). And there was significantly negative correlation between brucella SAT titers and TAC and SH (respectively, rho = -0.540, -0.503).

Conclusion: The serological antibody titer increased in brucellosis, oxidative stress and DNA damage also increased in relation to it. And this DNA damage might lead to brucellosis-related mutation and carcinogenesis. Therefore, these patients must be treated urgently to counteract the DNA damage.
