We report on a case of a 48-year-old man who presented with acute Q fever infection after burying two fawn cadavers (Capreolus capreolus). Recent outbreaks of Q fever in Europe have been traced back to intensive goat breeding units, sheep flocks in the proximity of highly populated urban areas or to farmed deer. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing Q fever infection in a human linked to roe deer as a source of infection.
我们报告了一例48岁男性病例,该患者在掩埋两只小鹿尸体(狍)后出现急性Q热感染。欧洲近期的Q热疫情已追溯到集约化山羊养殖场、人口密集城市附近的羊群或养殖鹿群。据我们所知,这是首例描述人类因感染狍而感染Q热的病例报告。
