Q fever endocarditis in Israel and a worldwide review.

Only registered users can translate articles

The worldwide epidemiology and population-based incidence of Q fever endocarditis (QFE) have been less well studied than those for uncomplicated Q fever. An exhaustive literature review revealed 408 patients with QFE reported between 1949 and 1994, mostly from 3 large geographic areas. Underlying

Epidemic of Q fever in Leszno district in Poland.

Only registered users can translate articles

In 1988 an epidemic of Q fever was detected in Leszno district. During 1973-1985 all 28,066 cattle tested for C. burnetii antibodies were found to be negative. The first seroconversions were found in cows which produced stillborn young. In the following years the number of seropositive cattle

High seroprevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM in acute Q fever by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Only registered users can translate articles

Q fever is serologically cross-reactive with other intracellular microorganisms. However, studies of the serological status of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae during Q fever are rare. We conducted a retrospective serological study of M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae by

Genetic Variation in Pattern Recognition Receptors and Adaptor Proteins Associated With Development of Chronic Q Fever.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Q fever is an infection caused by Coxiella burnetii. Persistent infection (chronic Q fever) develops in 1%-5% of patients. We hypothesize that inefficient recognition of C. burnetii and/or activation of host-defense in individuals carrying genetic variants in pattern recognition receptors

A Q Fever Outbreak in the Netherlands: Consequences for Tissue Banking.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND: Emerging infectious diseases can compromise the safety of tissues for transplantations. A recent outbreak of Q fever, a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii, in the Netherlands compelled the Dutch tissue banks to assess the risk of Q fever transmission through tissue

Chronic Q fever: A missed prosthetic valve endocarditis possibly for years.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chronic Coxiella burnetii endocarditis usually develops in people with underlying heart disease and accounts for 60-70% of chronic Q fever. Onset is generally insidious and manifestations are atypical. The authors report a case of Coxiella burnetii prosthetic valve endocarditis in a 53 years- old

Land-applied goat manure as a source of human Q-fever in the Netherlands, 2006-2010.

Only registered users can translate articles

Studies have shown a link between Q-fever positive farms (QFPFs) and community cases of human Q-fever. Our study is the first to investigate the potential role of contaminated land-applied manure in human Q-fever, based on a large set of nationwide notification and farm management data. Time between

Distribution of IgA subclass response to Coxiella burnetii in patients with acute and chronic Q fever.

Only registered users can translate articles

The progression of Coxiella burnetii infection to acute or chronic Q fever has been attributed to biological characteristics of the bacterium and to the host immune response. We measured whether serum levels of total and specific subclasses IgA1 and IgA2 could be correlated with the course of

Predominant immunoglobulin A response to phase II antigen of Coxiella burnetii in acute Q fever.

Only registered users can translate articles

Diagnosis of acute Q fever is usually confirmed by serology, on the basis of anti-phase II antigen immunoglobulin M (IgM) titers of >/=1:50 and IgG titers of >/=1:200. Phase I antibodies, especially IgG and IgA, are predominant in chronic forms of the disease. However, between January 1982 and June

Chronic Q fever.

Only registered users can translate articles

From 1982 to 1986, sera from 36 patients suspected for chronic Q fever were submitted to serologic examination. By serology combined with clinical information, endocarditis was diagnosed in 17 cases, granulomatous hepatitis in 9 cases. 10 cases were dubious. High anti-phase I IgG titers and presence

A Q fever case mimicking crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever.

Only registered users can translate articles

Coxiella burnetii is the bacterium that causes Q fever. Human infection is mainly transmitted from cattle, goats and sheep. The disease is usually self-limited. Pneumonia and hepatitis are the most common clinical manifestations. In this study, we present a case of Q fever from the western part of
