Seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae was investigated in Japan in 48 individuals clinically suspected of having cat-scratch disease (CSD), 159 patients with cardiovascular diseases, and 129 healthy veterinary students. Of 48 CSD-suspected patients examined, 19 (39.6%) were positive for B. henselae-IgG and 4 (8.3%) for B. henselae-IgM. Of 159 patients with cardiovascular diseases, 5 (3.1%) were positive for B. henselae-IgG. In healthy veterinary students, 14 of 129 (10.9%) were positive for B. henselae-IgG and 1 (0.8%) for B. henselae-IgM. The positive rates of B. henselae-IgG and -IgM in CSD-suspected patients were significantly higher than in other sources. Most CSD-suspected and healthy individuals who were positive for B. henselae antibody had had some contacts with cats. In CSD-suspected patients, the B. henselae positive rate in females was significantly higher than in males, and high seropositive rates to B. henselae were found in younger age groups.
在日本,对48名临床疑似患有猫抓病(CSD)的个体、159名心血管疾病患者以及129名健康兽医专业学生进行了汉赛巴尔通体血清流行率调查。在接受检查的48名疑似CSD患者中,19人(39.6%)汉赛巴尔通体IgG呈阳性,4人(8.3%)汉赛巴尔通体IgM呈阳性。在159名心血管疾病患者中,5人(3.1%)汉赛巴尔通体IgG呈阳性。在健康兽医专业学生中,129人中有14人(10.9%)汉赛巴尔通体IgG呈阳性,1人(0.8%)汉赛巴尔通体IgM呈阳性。疑似CSD患者中汉赛巴尔通体IgG和IgM的阳性率显著高于其他来源。大多数汉赛巴尔通体抗体呈阳性的疑似CSD患者和健康个体都曾与猫有过接触。在疑似CSD患者中,女性的汉赛巴尔通体阳性率显著高于男性,且在较年轻年龄组中发现了较高的汉赛巴尔通体血清阳性率。
