摘要
Oropharyngeal swabs collected from patients with Q fever from France and from febrile patients from Senegal were tested by molecular assays for Coxiella burnetii. One positive result (0.08%) occurred for only one patient with acute Q fever. Throat swabs cannot replace blood serum samples as diagnostic tools for Q fever.
