  • Title: Short report: Q fever and Plasmodium falciparum malaria co-infection in a patient returning from the Comoros archipelago.
    Author: Brouqui P, Rolain JM, Foucault C, Raoult D.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2005 Dec; 73(6):1028-30. PubMed ID: 16354807.
    Abstract:
    Although Plasmodium falciparum malaria and Q fever are both prevalent in Africa, there have been no reports of co-infection to date. We report a case who returned from the Comoros archipelago diagnosed by serologic analysis as well as detection of Coxiella burnetii DNA in acute-phase serum. Thus, Q fever may be associated with malaria infection in travelers returning from disease-endemic countries. This diagnosis should be considered when the response to malaria treatment is incomplete.
