TL;DR: Hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients and its effect is reinforced by azithromycin, which was significantly more efficient for virus elimination.

TL;DR: In patients with unexplained fever, negative blood cultures, and a history of underlying vascular or cardiac disease, Q fever should be considered.

TL;DR: Transmission of Q fever appears to be more frequent in HIV-positive individuals than in the general population; this is not surprising, since Coxiella burnetii lives in the phagolysosome, like other micro-organisms described in immunocompromised hosts.

TL;DR: A preliminary study using genomic amplification by the polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis directly on 310 crushed ticks collected in 1985 in the Central African Republic shows that PCR- RFLP is a powerful tool to study tick collections, and that it is applicable to samples from developing countries.

TL;DR: Hydxychloroquine is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in patients with COVID-19 and its effect is reinforced by Azithromycin.
