In September 2002, facsimiles were sent to 360 primary-care physicians alerting them to a local outbreak of Q fever. The physicians subsequently submitted serology samples on significantly more patients than in a previously comparable period in 2001. Facsimile cascade assists effective communication with primary-care physicians in an outbreak investigation.
2002年9月,向360名基层医疗医生发送了传真,提醒他们当地出现了Q热疫情。这些医生随后提交血清学样本的患者数量明显多于2001年之前可比时期。传真级联有助于在疫情调查中与基层医疗医生进行有效沟通。
