Two hundred forty-nine cases of Q fever were documented at the laboratories of the Centro Nacional de Microbiología, Virología e Inmunología Sanitarias (CNMVIS) during the 5-year period 1981-1985. Two hundred thirty-four cases corresponded to acute infections, mostly sporadic but including two epidemics. The clinical presentation was respiratory in 74% of the cases and febrile in 18%. Fifteen cases, all but one of which were endocarditis, were categorized as chronic. The cases studied were referred from almost every region of Spain. The clinical and epidemiologic analyses and the number of cases reported permit only an approximation of the true incidence and characteristics of Q fever in Spain.
1981年至1985年的5年间，国家卫生微生物学、病毒学和免疫学中心（CNMVIS）实验室记录了249例Q热病例。234例为急性感染，大多为散发性，但包括两次流行。74%的病例临床表现为呼吸道症状，18%为发热症状。15例被归类为慢性病例，除1例之外均为心内膜炎。所研究的病例来自西班牙几乎每个地区。临床和流行病学分析以及报告的病例数仅能大致估算西班牙Q热的真实发病率和特征。
