replies: text: No complaints, and I can leave it alone till you're done if you want, but I'm going to make a quick pass through for wiki-markup....basically, it's best to not capitalize something just because it's an article (like Endocarditis -> endocarditis, and to link to the singular (antibiotics -> antibiotics). Also, I think you're using three single quotes (which make a word bold) where you mean to link things (like people's names). (Also species names are usually italicized). Also, generally don't start with an "Introduction header" so the table of contents isn't the first thing in an article. See if this isn't more like what you're looking for.- Nunh-huh 06:12, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: From the article: "In Europe it appears as hepatitis rather than pneumonia as in the United States."
This statement is a little suspect to me.  Maybe it means that in Europe when people have hepatitis it is standard to test for Q fever whereas in the US it isn't standard so people with hepatitis may be given an "unknown etiology"?  Then I guess the opposite may be happening with pneumonia?  I think this needs to be cited and given possible explanations as well. Atherva 23:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difference between US and Europe?  

message: You may consider adding a part under "people at risk" to include military personnel.  It's not that common, but I had it along with three others while serving in Iraq.  There were a few more cases from Afghanistan.  I think it's significant enough to mention.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.101.94.100 (talk) 10:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "It can be considered the most infectious disease in the world, as a human being can be infected by a single bacterium" ... the page for tuberculosis makes the same claim, minus the "most infectious disease in the world" part. In the case of TB, "can" seems to mean a 1 in 10 chance. So I suggest that "can be infected by a single bacterium" is meaningless outside of the context of the probability of this happening, and that it's the ID50 (of 1 in the case of Q fever) which really matters here. 81.131.46.77 (talk) 12:39, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I would like to see a reference for the infectiousness of pasteurized, but not raw, milk.  I find this surprising and have located a brief review (2001) with conflicted conclusions at http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/414431_4.  Regards, JamesBowlin (talk) 08:35, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pasteurization 

message: This statement does not make sense to me:
The chronic form of Q fever is virtually identical to inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (endocarditis),[9]
Although Chronic Q fever may cause endocarditis it cannot be virtually identical to it. Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner lining of heart and therefore cannot be virtually identical to an infection but rather is the manifestation of an infection. Please reword or clarify the statement.

thread_title:  Maybe a section in the article should be created for incidents of this rare disease.   

message: The mention is missing, I think it was queer fever, and also connected with Queensland, and there was some great research put into discovering the infectious origing and the strange immune system evasion of the bacteria. The trouble is that the article I have it from was from 1987, with discussion with one of the researchers who made discoveries on the Q-fever. If somebody has the time to research the story, it would be nice to have it added to the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.64.7.200 (talk) 13:08, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
