Additional microbiological tests and outcomes in hospitalized acute Q fever patients.

aNo pathogens cultured; in two patients sputum had been sampled which was not suitable for cultivation.bStaphylococcus epidermidis (both are probably a contamination of the sample).cMycoplasma pneumoniae antibodies ≥1∶320, 20 additional patients had detectable antibodies: 1∶40 (n = 8), 1∶80 (n = 4), 1∶160 (n = 8).a 未培养出病原体；其中2例患者的痰液样本因不适宜培养，未开展病原菌培养。b 检出表皮葡萄球菌（Staphylococcus epidermidis），两例结果均疑为样本污染。c 肺炎支原体（Mycoplasma pneumoniae）抗体滴度≥1∶320；另有20例患者可检出肺炎支原体抗体，滴度分别为1∶40（n=8）、1∶80（n=4）、1∶160（n=8）。
