    Author: Marrie TJ, Schlech WF, Williams JC, Yates L.
    Journal: Lancet; 1986 Feb 22; 1(8478):427-9. PubMed ID: 2868348.
    Abstract:
    4 patients with atypical pneumonia and a history of exposure to wild rabbits were found to have antibodies to Coxiella burnetii but not to the other organisms also commonly associated with atypical pneumonia. 10 (45%) of 22 snowshoe hares caught in the area where 1 of the patients snared his rabbits had antibodies to Coxiella burnetii. Q fever ought to be included in the differential diagnosis of pneumonia acquired following exposure to wild rabbits.
