Altered immunity found in Q fever fatigue syndrome

Research Highlights: We explored the specific IFNγ production, and the IFNγ/IL-2 ratio in QFS patients. QFS patients have a significant higher IFNγ production than seropositive controls. The IFNγ/IL-2 ratio is significantly lower in QFS than in chronic Q-fever patients. These … Continue reading
