  • Title: Throat swab samples for diagnosis of Q fever.
    Author: Angelakis E, Mediannikov O, Stein A, Bassene H, Sokhna C, Raoult D.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2014 Jan; 90(1):147-8. PubMed ID: 24166041.
    Abstract:
    Oropharyngeal swabs collected from patients with Q fever from France and from febrile patients from Senegal were tested by molecular assays for Coxiella burnetii. One positive result (0.08%) occurred for only one patient with acute Q fever. Throat swabs cannot replace blood serum samples as diagnostic tools for Q fever.
