| Abstract | ||
| Blood samples were collected from patients with typhoid and Brucella, C-RP and the ions of zinc, cupper and manganese in the serum were measured. The results showed an increase in the level of C-RP in the serum of patients compared with the control group and this increase showed proportional correlation with age, with no sex correlation. The results also showed a significant difference in the concentration Of zinc, cupper, and the ration of Cu / Zn in the serum of patients. The results also showed a significant difference in the concentration of Zn in their serum of the patients group ,and in the concentration of Cu and in the ratio of Cu / Zn between patients and control group when the concentration of C-RP was ≥ 6 mg/L in addition to significant difference in the concentration of Zn in the sera of typhoid and Brucella patients when the concentration of C-RP was 6 mg/L only.The results don’t record any significant difference in the concentration of Mn in the sera of different C-RP concentration. and also Zn at C-RP concentration ≥ 12 mg/L. The results also showed no significant difference in the concentration of Mn between the studied groups at different C-RP concentration. | ||
