We tested paired sera from 584 febrile persons in an low-income urban community in Bangladesh for evidence of Leptospira infection. A total of 8.4% of the persons met criteria for definite or probable infection. Persons with leptospirosis were older than those with undifferentiated fever in this population. The dominant infecting serogroups in Bangladesh differed from serogroups commonly reported in nearby regions.
我们检测了孟加拉国一个低收入城市社区的 584 名发热患者的配对血清,以寻找钩端螺旋体感染的证据。共有 8.4%的人符合确定或可能感染的标准。在该人群中,患有钩端螺旋体病的人比患有未分化发热的人年龄更大。孟加拉国的主要感染血清群与附近地区常见的血清群不同。
