High Coxiella burnetii Seroconversion Rate in Veterinary Students, the Netherlands, 2006–2010

We examined Coxiella burnetii seroconversion rates by measuring C. burnetii IgG among 2 cohorts of veterinary students. During follow-up of 118 seronegative veterinary students, 23 students seroconverted. Although the clinical importance of the presence of antibodies is unknown, veterinary students...

Although the clinical importance of the presence of antibodies is unknown, veterinary students should be informed about the potential risks for Q fever.
