Resumen:
Brucella abortus (Ba) induces an inflammatory response that could stimulate the endocrine system resulting in the secretion of glucocorticoids and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Our aim was to evaluate the role of adrenal hormones on the immune response in brucellosis. We found an increased in the cortisol/DHEA ratio in sera from brucellosis patients (p
