  • Title: Sexually transmitted Q fever.
    Author: Milazzo A, Hall R, Storm PA, Harris RJ, Winslow W, Marmion BP.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2001 Aug 01; 33(3):399-402. PubMed ID: 11438911.
    Abstract:
    We report the sexual transmission of Coxiella burnetii from a man with occupationally acquired Q fever to his wife. Fifteen days after coitus, his wife also developed serologically proven acute Q fever. C. burnetii DNA sequences were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on semen samples obtained from the husband at 4 and 15 months after the onset of acute Q fever, but PCR results were variable at 23 months, indicating the presence of few organisms.
