Burnet's Rickettsia Disease (Q Fever)
Abstract
This diagnostic study on subacute infiltrates of rickettsia Burneti proves that, in this field, a final decision can only be reached through steady and prolonged clinical examination, not only based on radiological, seriological and microbiological data, but also on a complete examination of the patient. In this connection, one must not forget the most important fact, that only radiological or just one serological report is never sufficient; that one should always exclude the less infrequent possibilities; that it is always useful to note the therapeutic effect of aureomycin, without being limited to just one administration and mainly giving great weight to the eventual joint report of the regression of the infiltrate and of the negativation of the complement fixation.
