    In 1973 the authors investigated the incidence of Q fever serologically by means of the reaction of complement fixation (RCF) and the method of immunofluorescent titration (MIFT) in two inadequately investigated occupational groups--communal workers from the town of Russe and medical workers in obstetric departments of several towns in North Bulgaria. In addition, they carried out comparative studies in order to characterize the incidence and the degree of affection from the same disease in other persons exposed and not exposed at work in the same area--transport workers and blood donors. Out of 198 communal workers, 91 (45.95 +/- 3.54%) had positive titres for Q fever (1:8--1:512). A high incidence of Q fever was established in dustmen (61.40%), sweepers (46.55%) and drivers of dust cars (38.00%), i.e. persons collecting and rendering harmless the garbage of big town. Out of 174 medical workers in obstetric departments 65 (37.36% +/- 3.78%) were positive in titres 1:8--1:512. A high incidence of Q fever was established in obstetricians (57.14%), midwives (38.11%) and hospital attendants (34.38%), i.e. persons providing medical care for pregnant women or women in childbirth. In both groups the occupational hazard increases with the length of service. Out of 244 transport workers 82 (33.60% +/- 3.02%) were positive for Q fever, and out of 237 blood donors 19 (8.01 +/- 2.54%) were serologically positive for Q fever. The authors suggest continued investigation of these two occupational groups.
