| dc.description | Leptospirosis is caused by a bacterium of the genus Leptospira. This study aimed at investigating the seroprevalence
of and risk factors for leptospirosis in humans in Manaus, State of Amazonas. Methods: Interviews were performed, and
1,000 blood serum samples were examined using a microscopic agglutination test. Results: Forty-three cases were positive;
there were 10 serotypes, with coagglutination in 8 cases. The most frequently occurring serotypes were Icterohaemorrhagiae
(20.7%), Cynopteri (20.7%), Australis (18.8%), and Copenhageni (16.9%), and the Midwest (54.7%) and South (23.8%) had
the most cases; these areas lack basic sanitation. Conclusions: Disease occurrence might be reduced through improved basic
infrastructural conditions. | |
