Edit: In France we saw an uptrend too : http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=162175
Number of patients with Q fever is increasing in Germany
Figures from the German Robert Koch Institute show that the number Q-fever patients in 2011 increased compared to 2010.
In the latest issue of the RKI Epidemiological Bulletin published on May 16 jl states in 2010 81 patients were reported untill week 16 (= to mid April). This year that number has risen to 146 patients during the same period.
In 2009, a total of 191 Q fever patients were reported according to the Robert Koch Institute, in 2010 that number rose to 361.
It seems likely - IMHO - the increase will continue in 2011.
