| pubmed-article:15682517 | pubmed:abstractText | Serum samples from people exposed to sheep at a research facility were evaluated by a commercial laboratory and resulted in an overall Coxiella burnetii seroprevalence of 75%. We interviewed individuals to determine exposure history and compatible illness, and retested their sera. Analysis indicated that the commercial laboratory was misinterpreting its results; when corrected, the seroprevalence dropped to 27%. Test kits of the brand used by the commercial laboratory gave equivalent results to the in-house CDC assay when tested in parallel at CDC. Upon final analysis, only the attending veterinarian was confirmed as a Q fever case. This event resulted in increased risk reduction protocols at the research facility and improved public health communication among health authorities. This pseudoepidemic resulted from a lapse in laboratory quality control for testing. Similar errors can be avoided through standardization and improved review of laboratory procedures. | lld:pubmed |
