Abstract

The results of a serosurvey for leptospiral antibodies in a random sample of healthy subjects are reported. The study was carried out in an area where a waterborne outbreak of leptospirosis, due to leptospires of serogroup Australis, had occurred a month before. Sera were tested with the microagglutination technique. Leptospiral agglutinins were found in 13.8% of tested subjects, mostly in adult females. The highest prevalence rate was observed for serovar lora belonging to serogroup Australis. The leptospires of this group have a relevant spread in the study area in keeping with other surveys carried out in Italy.

摘要

报告了对健康受试者随机样本进行钩端螺旋体抗体血清学调查的结果。该研究在一个地区开展，一个月前该地区因澳洲血清群钩端螺旋体发生了一次水源性钩端螺旋体病暴发。血清采用微量凝集技术进行检测。在13.8%的受试对象中发现了钩端螺旋体凝集素，大多数为成年女性。在属于澳洲血清群的洛拉血清型中观察到最高患病率。与在意大利进行的其他调查一致，该血清群的钩端螺旋体在研究地区有相当广泛的分布。
