Q fever is a zoonosis with many manifestations. The most common clinical presentation is an influenza-like illness with varying degrees of pneumonia and hepatitis. Although acute disease is usually self-limiting, people do occasionally die from this condition. Endocarditis is the most frequent chronic presentation.

Q fever is a zoonotic disease found throughout the world. It is caused by the intracellular gram-negative bacterium Coxiella burnetii. Infection by C. burnetii occurs primarily by inhalation of the aerosolized bacteria from birthing animals or contaminated dust. The bacterium is very resistant to drying and heat, and is considered highly endemic in the

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. Farm animals and pets are the main reservoirs of infection, and transmission to human beings is mainly accomplished through inhalation of contaminated aerosols. This illness is associated with a wide clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic seroconversion to fatal disease.

Abstract Q fever is a wide spread illness affecting wild and domestic animals and man. The etiological agent, Coxiella burnetii, has both a wild life and domestic animal cycle. In mammals infection localizes to the endometrium and the mammary glands.

Q fever is a widespread disease caused by the rickettsia Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular bacteria which man usually acquires through the inhalation of infected dust from subclinically infected animals. Q fever may be acute or chronic. The chronic form mostly presents as endocarditis, which is difficult to diagnose and may ultimately be ...

In this era of emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism it is important to be up to date with the diagnosis and management of Q fever pneumonia.A considerable amount of new information has emerged regarding the pathogenesis of Coxiella burnetii infection. The complete genome of this microorganism has now been sequenced and there are several unique

Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, produces a variety of clinical syndromes. The most frequent and serious chronic presentation is endocarditis, which presents unspecifically as a blood-culture negative endocarditis. It occurs almost exclusively in patients who have pre-existing valvular disease or who are immunocompromised.

Sixteen cases of chronic Q fever are described. In eight there was a history of exposure to infection from farms or farm products. All had valvular heart disease, involving the mitral valve in nine and the aortic valve in seven. Infection occurred on a prosthetic valve in two patients. Arterial embolism was common.

Two of the 186 persons (1%) with acute Q fever examined in this study were 80 years of age or older. Both were males and both had Coxiella burnetti pneumonia. Q fever was not suspected during their hospital stay and would not have been diagnosed if these patients had not been part of a prospective study of community-acquired pneumonia.
