  • Title: Retrospective diagnosis of Q fever ina country abattoir by the use of specific IgM globulin estimations.
    Author: Murphy AM, Hunt JG.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1981 Oct 03; 2(7):326-7. PubMed ID: 7300773.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-two cases of pyrexial illness which occurred amongst workers in a country abattoir were investigated retrospectively for Q fever, brucellosis, and leptospirosis. In 18, the illness was shown to be Q fever. No diagnoses were established for the other four. The demonstration of circulating Q-fever-specific IgM globulin was instrumental in establishing the diagnosis in many of the cases.
