OCCURRENCE OF BARTONELLA HENSELAE AND BARTONELLA QUINTANA IN A HEALTHY GREEK POPULATION

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of IgM and IgG antibodies against Bartonella henselae and B. quintana in a healthy Greek population using a commercially available immunofluorescent test (Focus test). Five hundred healthy individuals were divided by sex into four age groups and three groups according to contact with cats.
