[Radiodiagnostic features of the pulmonary form of Q fever].
Patients with the pulmonary form of Q fever and the more rarely described pleural reaction were presented. The purpose of this work was as follows: to pay attention to all characteristics of the radiological picture of the pulmonary form of Q fever, to emphasize the importance of the radiological finding for the establishment of diagnosis, to point to the present possibilities of radiology and to put forward diagnostic procedures. Namely, when managing the patients in clinical practice, radiological examination is performed almost in the first place, the referring diagnosis is most frequently optional, while clinical and laboratory findings are still incomplete and not always useful. Thus, the diagnostic procedure of radiologists is made much more difficult, particularly of those who have not had the chance of encountering these diseases in their everyday radiologic diagnostic. However, recent knowledge of some authors who have investigated these diseases in the territory of SAP of Vojvodina points to the fact that percentually Q fever most frequently appears just in this territory when compared with other parts of SFR of Yugoslavia. Anyhow, according to the results obtained, the incidence of diseases is greater than the majority of radiologists could conclude in their everyday clinical practice. This necessitates the refreshment of knowledge in this field which would lead toward further improvement of diagnostic.
