| 5 | A case report of autochthonous Q fever with pneumonia and hepatitis in northeastern China显示文摘There are only a few case reports of Q fever caused by Coxiella burnetii in China,despite the nature as a ubiquitous zoonotic disease worldwide.In the northeast part of China,a 52-year-old male presented with fever,cough,shortness of breath,and sputum production,accompanied by headache,dizziness,chill,myalgia,and arthralgia.Chest computed tomography images showed pneumonia accompanied by bilateral scattered infiltrates and localized upper-lobe emphysema.The abnormal liver function was indicated by the increased levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase.Through high-throughput sequencing and molecular detection,Coxiella burnetii was positive in the patient's blood specimens.After treatment with moxifloxacin hydrochloride and vidarabine monophosphate for 12 days,the patient completely recovered.To our knowledge,this was the first reported case of Q fever with pneumonia and hepatitis in this country. | Yuan Gao Lihe Che Zedong Wang Junqi Niu Wei Wei Mingxin Song Quan Liu | 2021 | Biosafety and Health2021，3，3： | 0 |
