  • Title: Clinical and Genetic Features of Coxiella burnetii in a Patient with an Acute Febrile Illness in Korea.
    Author: Lee SH, Heo JY, Lee HK, Lee YS, Jeong HW, Hwang SD.
    Journal: J Korean Med Sci; 2017 Jun; 32(6):1038-1041. PubMed ID: 28480664.
    Abstract:
    Although Q fever is an important zoonotic infection with a worldwide distribution, no human isolates of Coxiella burnetii have been identified in Korea. For the first time, we identified the nucleotide sequence of C. burnetii from a 32-year-old man with an acute febrile illness in Korea. Diagnosis of acute Q fever was confirmed by seroconversion using indirect immunofluorescence antibody assays. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated high sequence similarity (99.6%-100%) with C. burnetii 16S rRNA sequences identified from the reservoir. These results are the first genetic analysis of C. burnetii in a human case of Q fever in Korea.
