Incidência de reovírus em algumas cidades do Rio Grande do Sul

Incidence of haemagglutination inhibiting antibodies against reovirus in some cities of State of Rio Grande do Sul

Resumos

Amostras de soros humanos coletadas nas cidades de Pelotas, Santiago e Uruguaiana, no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, foram testadas para anticorpos inibidores da hemaglutinação contra reovírus. Dos 311 soros estudados, 58,5% apresentaram anticorpos para reovírus tipo 1, 50,5% para o tipo 2 e 85,5% para reovírus tipo 3.


Three hundred and eleven human sera, obtained from residents in cities of Pelotas, Santiago and Uruguaiana, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were tested for haemagglutination inhibition antibodies against reovirus. Antibodies for reovirus type 1 were demonstrated in 58.5%, for reovirus type 2 in 50.5% and for reovirus type 3 in 85.5% of the sera tested.
