[febrile state, headache and arthralgia].	a 38-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of persistent fever up to 40 degrees c, arthralgias, headache and a nonproductive cough. the white-cell count was within the normal range but was markedly shifted to the left and demonstrated toxic granulations. sonographic examination of the abdomen revealed a slight enlargement of the spleen. a nonspecific reactive hepatitis which was clinically asymptomatic was detected by laboratory evaluation. diagnosis of an acute q fever was m ...	1991	2052831
[optimal combined use of rifampicin and immunomodulator of microbial origin in experimental q-rickettsia infection].	multifactorial analysis of the combined use of rifampicin and an immunomodulator of the microbial origin, such as peptidoglycan, was performed on a model of experimental q fever in albino mice. on the basis of the experimental results, statistic polynomial models describing the weight of the murine spleens and the titers of the complement-binding antibodies were designed. it was shown that the action of the immunomodulator and antibiotic was highly synergistic with respect to the chemotherapeuti ...	1991	2053816
[chemotherapeutic effectiveness of doxycycline in experimental q fever].	comparative chemotherapeutic efficacy of doxycycline administered orally or parenterally was studied on a model of experimental q fever in guinea pigs and albino mice. the advantage of the parenteral use of the antibiotic was observed only in the treatment of the albino mice. optimization of the doses and time of doxycycline use providing the maximum therapeutic effect and the required levels of the complement binding antibodies was achieved with employing the multifactorial analysis.	1991	2053817
an outbreak of cat-associated q fever in the united states.	q fever is usually acquired by contact with aerosols generated during parturition of domestic ungulates (e.g., sheep, cows, goats). in the maritime provinces of canada, parturient cats have also been implicated in its transmission. a 66-year-old woman from eastern maine developed high fever, rigors, headache, myalgias, pulmonary infiltrates, and elevated hepatocellular enzymes, and the diagnosis of acute q fever was confirmed serologically. she and 14 other family members had attended a family r ...	1991	2056206
