The incidence of nephropathia epidemica (NE) was compared with the NE antibody prevalence in normal population in a highly endemic area of Sweden (Västerbotten county). The antibody prevalence rate in the oldest age groups were found to be 14 and 20 times higher than the accumulated life-risk of being hospitalized with NE for men and women respectively. Whether the infection in persons not admitted to hospital is subclinical, atypical or clinically fulminant, remains to be determined.
在瑞典一个高流行地区（韦斯特博滕郡），对肾病流行性（NE）的发病率与正常人群中NE抗体流行率进行了比较。结果发现，在年龄最大的年龄组中，男性和女性的抗体流行率分别比因NE住院的累积终身风险高14倍和20倍。未住院者的感染是亚临床的、非典型的还是临床暴发性的，仍有待确定。
