We evaluated the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in 626 human serum samples (275 from veterinarians, 107 from meat-processing workers, 184 from respiratory-disorder patients, and 60 from healthy humans) by the indirect immunofluorescence test. Of the serum samples examined, 54 (8.6%) and 103 (16.5%) reacted positively to phase I and II antigens, respectively, of C. burnetii. The rates differed for healthy humans and respiratory-disorder patients. Antibody prevalence was high for healthy humans living in close contact with animals (e.g., veterinarians and meat-processing workers).
我们通过间接免疫荧光试验评估了626份人血清样本(275份来自兽医,107份来自肉类加工工人,184份来自呼吸系统疾病患者,60份来自健康人)中伯氏考克斯氏体抗体的流行情况。在所检测的血清样本中,分别有54份(8.6%)和103份(16.5%)对伯氏考克斯氏体的I相和II相抗原呈阳性反应。健康人和呼吸系统疾病患者的反应率有所不同。与动物密切接触的健康人(如兽医和肉类加工工人)抗体流行率较高。
