摘要: Objective—To determine the extent of leptospirosis in persons exposed to infected swine, confirm source disease, define risk factors for infection, and identify means preventing additional infections during an outbreak Missouri 1998. Design—Cross-sectional study. Sample Population—240 people 1,700 pigs. Procedure—An epidemiologic investigation was conducted pigs from University Missouri-Columbia swine herd. The included review health pigs, a crosssectional study handling serologic testing human porcine sera, risk-factor analysis within population. Results—Serologic samples collected at time indicated that 59% had titers leptospires, denoting exposure. Of 240 population, 163 (68%) were interviewed, these, 110 (67%) submitted blood sample. Nine (8%) cases we...
