摘要: Q fever has long been considered a rare disease. The extensive outbreak in the Netherlands generated body of literature based solely on consensus Netherlands. As long-standing expert fever, I offer my experience and recommendations to E-CDC Dutch Consensus Group. My (biased) opinion is that experts deeply involved field continue be useful management outbreaks can avoid decisions produce an unfavorable progression patients. Here, propose definition "chronic fever" avoided suggest new score-based diagnosis for endocarditis vascular infection.
