Abstract
Levels of antibody to L. pneumophila serogroup 1 in 5 areas of New Zealand were determined by indirect immunofluorescence. Both IgG and IgM levels were separately assessed. Of the 500 people studied, 2.8% had IgG titers of .gtoreq. 1:128 and 4.0% had IgM titers of .gtoreq. 1:128. Higher levels of IgG reactivity were noted in the southern part of New Zealand, but neither age nor sex appeared to be related to variations in antibody levels.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
