| Core Tip |
Q fever myocarditis is a rare disease (< 1% of cases) caused by infection with Coxiella burnetii (gram-negative proteobacteria). Q fever normally has a pleomorphic and non-specific clinical presentation which leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which can lead to worse outcomes. Q fever myocarditis should be kept in differentials not only in patients with acute Q fever but also with chronic Q fever infection, like in our case. Q fever serologies help in making a diagnosis of acute and chronic Q fever. Cardiac positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can be utilized to diagnose myocarditis in the setting of Q fever. Hydroxychloroquine and doxycycline, in combination, are used for treatment of Q fever myocarditis. |
