Abstract
Q Fever in Young Children, Ghana
Highlights
In malaria-endemic areas, most fevers are attributed to Plasmodium falciparum infection and presumptively treated with expensive combination therapies [5]
We studied the prevalence of Q fever antibodies in 219 randomly selected children living in 9 rural villages of the Ashanti region, Ghana
Plasma was obtained by venous puncture from 2-year-old children after they had participated in a malaria control study and had been clinically monitored for 21 months
