Eighteen strains of L. interrogans isolated from human cases were serotyped by the agglutinin-absorption test at Instituto Adolfo Lutz in São Paulo, Brazil. Fourteen were identified as serovar copenhageni (icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup), 2 as canicola (canicola serogroup), 1 as castellonis (Ballum serogroup) and 1 as pomona serogroup (serovar not yet defined). The frequency of serovar copenhageni in 100% of the isolates in icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup is emphasized and more studies to verify the real serovars prevalence as subsidy to the epidemiology of this infection are suggested by the authors.
从人类病例中分离出的18株问号钩端螺旋体在巴西圣保罗的阿道夫·卢茨研究所通过凝集素吸收试验进行了血清分型。其中14株被鉴定为哥本哈根血清型（黄疸出血血清群），2株为犬型（犬血清群），1株为拜伦血清型（巴伦血清群），1株为波摩那血清群（血清型尚未确定）。作者强调了黄疸出血血清群中100%的分离株为哥本哈根血清型这一情况，并建议开展更多研究以核实实际的血清型流行情况，作为该感染流行病学研究的补充。
