Underdiagnosis of Coxiella burnetii infections in Greece is possible because of lack of awareness by physicians, and most suspected cases are in patients with no bovine contact. We found serologic evidence of C. burnetii infection throughout Greece and identified a new C. burnetii genotype in the aortic valve of a patient with Q fever endocarditis.
在希腊,由于医生缺乏认识,可能存在对柯克斯体感染的漏诊,而且大多数疑似病例都出现在没有牛接触史的患者中。我们在希腊各地发现了柯克斯体感染的血清学证据,并在一位患有 Q 热心内膜炎的患者的主动脉瓣中发现了一种新的柯克斯体基因型。
