Seroepidemiological study on hantavirus infections in India

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2008
Hantaviruses are etiological agents of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in many parts of Asia and Europe. There has been no documented case of hantavirus disease from India, although serological evidence exists. We investigated the prevalence of hantavirus in the Indian population and tried to identify potential risk groups for hantavirus ...

Seroepidemiological Studies of Transfusion-Associated Hepatitis

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1971
patients with transfusion-associated and other hepatitis [1-3], and the Herpes group of viruses, specifically cytomegalovirus (CMV) [4-7] and, to a lesser extent, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) [8]. The association between hepatitis and HAA is strong; this antigen has been found in the serum of up to 80 96 of patients with transfusion-associated hepatitis ...

Seroepidemiological Studies of Arboviruses in Africa

2018
The literature on sero-epidemiological studies of flaviviral infections in the African continent is quite scarce. Much of the viral epidemiology studies have been focussing on diseases such as HIV/AIDS because of their sheer magnitude and impact on the lives of people in the various affected countries.

Seroepidemiological study of infectious mononucleosis in older patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1989
In southern Tasmania, Australia, primary Epstein-Barr virus infection occurs in adults greater than 30 years of age at a higher frequency (approximately 13% of all cases) than is generally reported for other parts of the world, and approximately 7% of the general population of the region have no antibodies to the virus. Epstein-Barr virus should not be

Seroepidemiological study of rotavirus infection in rural Ghana

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1984
Children in a village in rural Ghana were found to have acquired antibody to rotavirus by the age of two years. The results of our study suggest that primary infection takes place early in infancy. Fifty-six per cent of the three to 20-months-old had a four-fold rise in antibody levels during the six months follow-up period and 72.2% of them had one or

Seroepidemiological studies with campylobacter fetus

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. 1. Abt. Originale. A, Medizinische Mikrobiologie, Infektionskrankheiten und Parasitologie, 1981
324 sera from unselected male and 581 sera from female patients as well as 268 sera from prostitutes were studied for antibodies against Campylobacter fetus using the complement fixation test. Antigen was Campylobacter fetus subspecies intestinalis. 3.9% of the sera showed low but relevant antibody titers.

Herpesvirus infection and cervical anaplasia—a seroepidemiological study

International Journal of Cancer, 1977
AbstractIn a cohort of 23,146 pregnant females followed for 37–56 months subsequent to collection of prenatal sera, 57 cases of carcinoma of the cervix were encountered. Three controls were selected for each case from the residual cohort matched to cases for age, residence, number of prior cytology smears taken, and the date of entry to the study.

A Seroepidemiological Study of Amebiasis in Adults in Maracaibo, Venezuela

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1981
Eight hundred and forty-eight sera collected from adult patients attending the Central and University Hospitals and from blood donors at the Blood Bank in Maracaibo, Venezuela, were screened for serologic evidence of Entamoeba histolytica infection, employing the indirect hemagglutination test. The seropositivity rates obtained ranged from 4.4-6.5% and

Seroepidemiologic Studies of Infectious Mononucleosis with Eb Virus

New England Journal of Medicine, 1968
Abstract Certain epidemiologic features of infectious mononucleosis are indicated by antibody patterns to the EB or herpes-like virus of Burkitt lymphoma. The absence of antibody correlated well with susceptibility: of 268 entering college students whose serums lacked EBV antibody, infectious mononucleosis developed in 15 per cent; in 94 whose serums ...
