  • Title: [Q fever in Guinea-Bissau. 1 case].
    Author: Lyagoubi M, Fassin D, Rogeaux O, Gentilini M.
    Journal: Bull Soc Pathol Exot Filiales; 1989; 82(4):575-7. PubMed ID: 2680135.
    Abstract:
    Q fever is seldom reported in West Africa. The case of a man returning from Guinea Bissau who presented an acute lobar pneumonia with fever, headache, hematuria and hepatitis was confirmed by high titers of antibody in Phase II indirect immuno-fluorescence which appeared on the twelfth day of fever. Treatment with erythromycin was continued by doxycyclin, and complete resolution of all signs was promptly obtained. Coxiella Burnetii might thus be responsible of cases of unexplained fever with respiratory or hepatic manifestations in West Africa.
