An exhaustive epidemiologic and serologic survey was carried out in five gold-panning villages situated in northeastern Gabon to estimate the degree of exposure of to leptospirosis and Ebola virus. The seroprevalence was 15.7% for leptospirosis and 10.2% for Ebola virus. Sixty years after the last seroepidemiologic survey of leptospirosis in Gabon, this study demonstrates the persistence of this infection among the endemic population and the need to consider it as a potential cause of hemorrhagic fever in Gabon. There was no significant statistical correlation between the serologic status of populations exposed to both infectious agents, indicating the lack of common risk factors for these diseases.
在加蓬东北部的五个淘金村庄开展了一项详尽的流行病学和血清学调查，以评估钩端螺旋体病和埃博拉病毒的暴露程度。钩端螺旋体病的血清阳性率为15.7%，埃博拉病毒的血清阳性率为10.2%。在加蓬上次进行钩端螺旋体病血清流行病学调查60年后，本研究表明这种感染在当地人群中持续存在，且有必要将其视为加蓬出血热的一个潜在病因。暴露于这两种传染原的人群的血清学状态之间无显著统计学相关性，表明这些疾病缺乏共同的风险因素。
