Abstract

Objective To better understand the situation of rickettsiae infection in agrarian children in Yili prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Methods A total of 1 722 serum samples were collected from children aged from 6-12 years old in rural areas of Yining city, Gongliu county and Zhaosu county from August to November, 2011. Indirect immunofluorescencs antibody assay proposed by WHO was used to detect tick born Rickettsia sibirica, Ehrlichua chaffeensis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Coxiella burnetii and flea born Rickettsia typhi, Bartonella henselae and mite born Orientia tsutsugamushi respectively. Results A high prevalence of tick borne rickettsiae including R. sibirica, E. chaffeensis, A. phagocytophilum and C. burnetiiwere detected in 37.4% (92/246) and 29.3% (72/246), 15.4% (38/246) and 12.6% (31/246), respectively. A significant seroprevalence were detected in 15.8% (39/246) of B. henselae, 5.7% (14/246) of R. typhi, and 11.8% (29/246) of O. tsutsugamushi, respectively. Conclusion A highly seroprevalences of vector-born rickettsiae were demonstrated in agrarian children in Yili prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Differential diagnoses of patients with unknown febrile diseases and empirical anti-rickettsia antibiotics treatment of patients with suspected rickettsia infection were needed in the local areas.
