There are limited data on the aetiology of acute undifferentiated febrile illnesses (AUFIs) in Iran. Moreover, Coxiella burnetii has not previously been detected in clinical samples in this country. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of considering C. burnetii as a cause of AUFI. In this retrospective study, in 92 cases of AUFI where Q fever was suspected, C. burnetii DNA was detected in seven samples (7.36%). This is the first molecular confirmation of C. burnetii from clinical samples from Iran.
关于伊朗急性未分化发热性疾病（AUFIs）的病因学数据有限。此外，此前该国临床样本中未检测到伯氏考克斯体。以往研究强调了将伯氏考克斯体视为AUFIs病因的重要性。在这项回顾性研究中，在92例疑似Q热的AUFIs病例中，7份样本（7.36%）检测到伯氏考克斯体DNA。这是来自伊朗临床样本的伯氏考克斯体的首次分子确认。
