Abstract
At 3 severe infection cohort sites in Uganda, Orientia seropositivity was common. We identified 4 seroconversion cases and 1 PCR-positive case. These results provide serologic and molecular support for Orientia spp. circulating in sub-Saharan Africa, possibly expanding its endemic range. Orientia infections could cause severe illness and hospitalizations in this region.
摘要
在乌干达的 3 个严重感染队列地点，东方体血清阳性很常见。我们发现了 4 例血清转换病例和 1 例 PCR 阳性病例。这些结果为奥氏立克次体在撒哈拉以南非洲的传播提供了血清学和分子支持，可能扩大了其地方性范围。奥氏立克次体感染可能导致该地区发生严重疾病和住院治疗。
