Problem

Despite the longstanding endemicity of Q fever in Israel, little is known about the actual epidemiology, geographic distribution, and groups at highest risk for the disease (3-6). Ministry of Health data are based on passive notifications, relying on reporting by the treating physician and laboratory staff where the diagnostic test suggestive of Q fever was performed. This reporting system is known to be highly affected by the awareness and motivation of medical staff (both physicians and laboratory workers). Almost half of acute Q fever cases are asymptomatic (7), but infections can progress years later to the more severe, chronic form of the disease. Thus, the actual population incidence of Q fever, including events missed by the passive surveillance system, has not been documented in Israel. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of Q fever in adult healthy volunteer blood donors in Israel and assessed the epidemiologic features of the disease.
