Koutantou M, Kambas K, Makka S, Fournier PE, Raoult D, Angelakis E (2023). Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology.
Study design and applicability are separate. A rigorous design in an unmatched population is not “strong evidence” for this record.
Status: Bibliographic identity verified (identifier match only). Identifier resolution proves bibliographic identity only; it does not prove that the card summary supports any medical claim, and it is not clinician review. Semantic verification count remains 0 for the catalog.
Narrative review of 63 papers after screening 437; quantifies poor and heterogeneous serology performance and argues molecular testing of nodes as gold standard for typical CSD.
Record overlap notes (research). serology-only positive specialty results; PCR negative blood tests; tissue-based diagnosis research framing when feasible
