We used a seroepidemiologic study to estimate Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) seroprevalence, seroincidence, and risk factors for seroconversion in two deployed military populations in 2005. The first study group resided in an area with a known Q fever outbreak history (Al Asad, Iraq). Of this population, 7.2% seroconverted for an incidence rate of 10.6 seroconversions per 1,000 person-months. The second population included personnel transiting through Qatar on mid-deployment leave from southwest/central Asia. In this group, we found 2.1% prevalence with 0.92 seroconversions per 1,000 person-months. However, no significant risk factors for Q fever seroconversion were found in either population.
我们采用血清流行病学研究来估计 2005 年两个部署中的军事人群中的 Q 热(科克斯体)血清流行率、血清发生率和血清转化率的危险因素。第一组研究人群居住在已知 Q 热爆发史的地区(伊拉克的 Al Asad)。该人群中,7.2%的人发生了血清转化,发病率为每 1000 人月 10.6 例血清转化。第二组人群包括从中亚/南亚部署中休假过境卡塔尔的人员。在这组人群中,我们发现患病率为 2.1%,每 1000 人月有 0.92 例血清转化。然而,在这两个人群中都没有发现 Q 热血清转化率的显著危险因素。
