Sažetak
Two hundred and thirty sera seaples fron blood donors and healthy volunteers (134 males, 96 females) in North Dalmatia were examined using indirect fluorescent antibody test. 40% of sera samples had antibodies to R.conorii, 37% to C.burnetii (antigen phase 2), 24.8% to R.akari, 23% to R.typhi and 13.5% to R.slovaca, with significantly higher total prevalence of rickettsial antibodies in rural (30.7%) than in urban (25.9) parts of North Dalaatia, and in males (29.1%) than in females (25.6). Mediterranean spotted fever, Q fever, murine typhus and Brill-Zinsser’s disease have been registered as rickettsial diseases in this area. It was not possible for the investigators to register rickettsialpox as a clinical entity, and clinical nanifestations of rickettsial diaeasse caused by R.slovaca.
