Abstract

We report three cases of chronic osteoarticular infections associated with Q fever in children. In two of them, serologic diagnosis was confirmed by direct immunofluorescence of Coxiella burnetii in the synovial and bone biopsy specimen. We suspect that bone infections due to Coxiella burnetii could be underdiagnosed because this etiology is not frequently seen.

摘要

我们报告了3例儿童与Q热相关的慢性骨关节感染病例。其中2例通过对滑膜和骨活检标本进行伯氏考克斯体直接免疫荧光检测确诊了血清学诊断。我们怀疑由伯氏考克斯体引起的骨感染可能未得到充分诊断，因为这种病因并不常见。
