“…Se halló una seroprevalencia para C. burnetii del 14.7% en las 102 muestras analizadas (10 mujeres y 92 hombres), con una mediana de edad de 42 años, siendo un valor intermedio entre los ya encontrados en nuestro país del 6.1 y 23.6% (9,20), e inferiores a países con mayor prevalencia como Holanda, que en grupos de riesgo alcanza una seroprevalencia de hasta 83.8% (15,16); pero mayor o semejante a lo descrito para población general (bancos de sangre) en otros países como Francia, Holanda, Alemania y España de 4, 24, 22 y 23.15% respectivamente (15,29).…”

Antecedentes: En los últimos años ha sido de interés el reconocimiento de manifestaciones clínicas con que cursan los pacientes que desarrollaran malaria severa (MS), y la población militar es susceptible de adquirir la infección con el desarrollo de complicaciones asociado al retraso en el reconocimiento de sus manifestaciones clínicas. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un análisis de una cohorte retrospectiva de sujetos con malaria atendidos en un hospital de referencia militar y el desarrollo de complicaciones según crieterios de OMS durante observación hospitalaria en mayores de 18 años, se estudiaron variables demográficas, clínicas, al examen físico, resultados paraclínicos y de manejo, los datos fueron analizados en el progama estadístico SPSS. Resultados: se analizarón 533 registros, se encontraron diferencias al ingreso en disnea 42,2% MS vs 16,88% malaria no complicada (MNC) (p

“…Serosurveys conducted among blood donors were also informative: in southern France, a 18% seroprevalence of antibodies to R. conorii and 5% to C. burnetii was identified among 325 blood donors [24]; in 500 Tunisian blood donors, seroprevalences of antibodies to R. conorii , R. typhi and C. burnetti were found to be 9%, 3.6% and 26%, respectively [25]; in Spain, a 23.1% seroprevalence of antibodies to C. burnetii was found among 863 blood donors [26]; in 601 Turkish blood donors, a 32.3% seroprevalence of antibodies to C. burnetii was detected [27]; in Mauritania, 13.5, 19.6, 1.7 and 33% seroprevalences of antibodies to R. conorii , R. africae , R. typhi and C. burnetti , respectively, were observed among 118 blood donors and patients [28]; and in New Zealand, 5% of 140 blood donors had antibodies to B. henselae [29]. …”

AbtractBackgroundIn the Pacific islands countries and territories, very little is known about the incidence of infectious diseases due to zoonotic pathogens. To our knowledge, human infections due to Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia spp. and Bartonella spp. have never been reported in French Polynesia; and infections due to C. burnetti have been reported worldwide except in New Zealand. To evaluate the prevalence of this disease, we conducted a serosurvey among French Polynesian blood donors.MethodsThe presence of immunoglobulin G antibodies against R. felis, R. typhi, R. conorii, C. burnetii, B. henselae, B. quintana, and E. chaffeensis was evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence assay in sera from 472 French Polynesian blood donors collected from 2011 to 2013. In addition, 178 ticks and 36 cat fleas collected in French Polynesia were also collected and tested by polymerase chain reaction to detect Rickettsia spp., B. henselae and Ehrlichia spp.ResultsNone of the blood donors had antibodies at a significant level against Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia spp. and Bartonella spp. All tested ticks and cat fleas were PCR-negative for Rickettsia spp., B. henselae, and Ehrlichia spp.ConclusionWe cannot conclude that these pathogens are absent in French Polynesia but, if present, their prevalence is probably very low. C. burnetii has been reported worldwide except in New Zealand. It may also be absent from French Polynesia.

“…In 863 blood donors in Albacete, South-East Spain, the seroprevalence of anti-phase II IgG was 23.1%, and that of IgM, indicating a possible acute infection, 0.3% [131]. Among 1,004 blood donor samples in the Netherlands in 2009, 3 (0.3%) contained Coxiella DNA, while Coxiella IgG could be detected in 66 of 543 (12.2%) of the donors [128].…”
