Metabolic Sequelae of Respiratory Q Fever in the Guinea Pig.

Abstract

Guinea pigs infected with Coxiella burnetii administered in small-particle aerosols responded with a significant increase in plasma copper, seromucoid, and lysozyme on days 9 through 13. In contrast, plasma zinc decreased between days 7 through 13. These physiological changes paralleled increases in temperature, spleen and lung weights, and development of lesions. (Author)
