[Q fever in hospital-acquired pneumonia]
Abstract
We studied the effects of Q fever in hospital-acquired pneumonia. The subjects consisted of 121 cases with hospital-acquired pneumonia treated during the period from December 2004 till June 2007. Q fever was diagnosed using a PanBio Coxiella burnetii ELISA test kit. There were no patients with acute infection by Coxiella burnetii. It is concluded that C. burnetii cannot induce onset of hospital-acquired pneumonia.
