| Abstract |
To determine the prevalence of antibodies to Rickettsia and Ehrlichia, related to recent and past contact, in the border towns of the departments Loreto, Madre de Dios, Tumbes and Tacna, during the years 2010 and 2011, surveys for serological evaluation were carried out using the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIF), in order to detect immunoglobulins G (IgG) and Total immunoglobulins (IgA + IgM + IgG) in 1634 persons. A recent contact prevalence was found for Ehrlichia of 3.7% (CI 95%: 3.0-4.4) and for Rickettsia of 10.6% (CI 95%: 9.1-12.1), and past contact for Ehrlichia of 19.0% (CI 95%: 17.1-21.0) and for Rickettsia of 23.3% (CI 95%: 21.2-25.3). It is concluded that there is a higher prevalence for past contact or infection in the population studied, both for Rickettsia and Ehrlichia, which would indicate an endemic behavior to both infectious agents in the geographic areas mentioned. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 December 2017.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#277
of 458 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,789
of 327,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública
#8
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 458 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
