| Abstract |
Clinical disease caused by Coxiella burnetii occurs infrequently in children. Chronic Q fever is particularly uncommon and endocarditis is rarely seen. A small number of cases of Q fever osteomyelitis have been described but the pathophysiology is not well understood and optimal treatment is unknown. We describe a series of cases of chronic recurrent multifocal Q fever osteomyelitis cases diagnosed in children from a single region in Australia. Between 2011 and 2014, 9 cases of chronic recurrent multifocal Q fever osteomyelitis were diagnosed based on clinical findings, suggestive serology and detection of Coxiella burnetii DNA by polymerase chain reaction testing of biopsy samples (8/9). All required surgical management; antibiotic and adjuvant therapies did not appear to be consistently effective and 2 cases had clinical resolution in the absence of directed antimicrobial therapy. Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare manifestation of chronic Q fever infection in children. The pathophysiology of this condition is poorly understood, and effective treatment options have not been established. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2016.
All research outputs
#20,656,161
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
#5,120
of 6,287 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,795
of 348,369 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal
#54
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,287 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.9. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 348,369 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
