Laboratory testing for Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) is essential for a differential diagnosis, yet little is known about Q fever diagnostic testing practices in the United States. We retrospectively analyzed Q fever immunoglobulin G (IgG) indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) testing data between 1/...

Molecular Detection of Coxiella burnetii in the Sera of Patients with Q Fever Endocarditis or Vascular Infection In the absence of a specific diagnosis based on serology, chronic Q fever is inevitably fatal. However, diagnosis is often delayed because the test is not ... F Fenollar,PE Fournier...
Q fever patients [1]. Light cycler nested-PCR (LCN-PCR) has been optimized for the early diagnosis of acute Q fever [40] when antibodies are absent [37]. This test, together with serology, is recommended in the first 2 weeks of acute Q fever [37]. Real-time quantitative PCR assay ...
We describe a 37-year-old farmer with a 3-week history of fevers and hepatitis, in whom Q fever was diagnosed. The diagnosis was based on the findings of characteristic "ring" granulomas on a bone marrow biopsy specimen and confirmed by complement-fixation antibody tests to Coxiella burnetii...
The indirect immunofluorescence antibody test is currently the method of choice for Q-fever laboratory diagnosis. It permits the detection of IgG-, IgM-, and IgA-specific antibodies against the two phases of Coxiella burnetii. Sera from 20 cases of C. burnetii infection have been examined. Only...
Q fever. Diagnosis is confirmed by serology or polymerase chain reaction testing (PCR). Tissue samples obtained from Q fever patients should be handled under biosafety level 3 for culture as they are highly infectious. The serological test of choice to diagnose acute and chronic Q fever is an ...
PCR,Coxiella burnetiiIgG phase I antibodies, CRP and18F鈥揊DG-PET/CT scan are used for diagnosis and monitoring in clinical practice. We aimed to identify and test biomarkers in order to improve discriminative power of the diagnostic tests and monitoring of chronic Q fever. We performed a ...
