Objective:
To analyze the prevalence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus(SFTSV)infection in Zhoushan island of Zhejiang province and the duration of serum positive IgG antibody in patients infected with SFTSV.
Methods:
One thousand one hundred and twenty-two healthy people from Zhoushan island of Zhejiang province were recruited for cross-sectional study in August 2019, including 641 from non-epidemic areas and 481 from epidemic areas. The serum SFTSV-IgG antibody was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the positive rates of SFTSV-IgG antibody were compared between people from the epidemic areas and non epidemic areas. Meanwhile, the antibody titer of SFTSV-IgG in 19 patients confirmed between July 2011 and June 2018 was detected by indirect ELISA. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze data.
Results:
The positive rate of SFTSV-IgG antibody was 1.5% (7/481) in the epidemic area, which was higher than that in the non-epidemic area (0/641) (
