A total of 1017 human sera from ecologically different areas in the states of Rajasthan and Jammu & Kashmir were subjected to the CF test using the Gilliam strain antigen of R. tsutsugamushi. Results revealed that 2.4% and 3.5% of the populations examined in the two states respectively, were found to possess antibodies to the test antigen. The titres of positive sera varied from 1:8 to 1:32. Findings of this survey could be correlated with the local topography, presence or absence of vector and the exposure of susceptible population to the rickettsial agent. However, the presence of hidden foci in the neighbouring areas not covered by the current survey cannot be ruled out.
使用恙虫病东方体的吉利亚姆株抗原，对来自拉贾斯坦邦和查谟和克什米尔邦生态不同地区的总共1017份人类血清进行了补体结合试验。结果显示，在这两个邦分别接受检测的人群中，发现2.4%和3.5%的人拥有针对检测抗原的抗体。阳性血清的滴度从1:8到1:32不等。本次调查结果可与当地地形、媒介的有无以及易感人群接触立克次体病原体的情况相关联。然而，不能排除当前调查未覆盖的邻近地区存在隐匿疫源地的可能性。
