ABSTRACT
Objective:
To determine the presence of antibodies against phase II among slaughterhouse workers in Kerman, southeast of Iran.Methods:
sorbent assay using phase II Coxiella burnetii as the antigen [kit (Virion\Serion, Wurzburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol].Results:
The antibody titers of the serum samples were measured by enzyme-linked immunoConclusions:
Our findings suggest that slaughterhouse workers in Kerman area have a higher risk of infection and should consider potential infection with Coxiella burnetii. The positive rate of IgG antibody was 68% in the slaughterhouse workers.
