The objective of this study was to further analyze the diagnostic value of semiquantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) in diagnosing acute Q fever in an outbreak situation. At the Jeroen Bosch Hospital, in 2009, qPCR testing for <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">Coxiella burnetii</jats:named-content> DNA was performed for 2,715 patients suspected of having acute Q fever (positive, <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 385; negative, <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 2,330). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the qPCR assay were calculated for patients with negative qPCR results with a follow-up sample obtained within 14 days ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 305) and qPCR-positive patients with at least one follow-up sample ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 369). The correctness of the qPCR result was based on immunofluorescence assay results for samples submitted for qPCR and follow-up testing. The sensitivity of the Q fever qPCR assay was 92.2%, specificity 98.9%, PPV 99.2%, and NPV 89.8%. Patients who later developed serologic profiles indicative of chronic Q fever infection had significantly higher <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">C. burnetii</jats:named-content> DNA loads during the acute phase than did patients who did not ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). qPCR testing is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of acute Q fever and should be used in outbreak situations when the onset of symptoms is &lt;15 days earlier. Special attention is needed in the follow-up monitoring of patients with high <jats:named-content content-type="genus-species">C. burnetii</jats:named-content> DNA loads during the acute phase, as this might be an indicator for the development of a serologic profile indicative of chronic infection. </jats:p> High Coxiella burnetii DNA Load in Serum during Acute Q Fever Is Associated with Progression to a Serologic Profile Indicative of Chronic Q Fever Journal of Clinical Microbiology
