Abstract:
We report 35 sporadic cases of acute Q fever diagnosed in the area of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). Diagnosis was based on a fourfold or greater rise in specific antibody titer. The mean age of the patients was 33 years and the male/female ratio was 2.5. Seventeen patients had hepatitis, 9 had pneumonia, 8 had isolated fever and 1 had myocarditis. An underlying disease was more frequent among patients with pneumonia.
