  • Title: Brachial plexopathy associated with Q fever: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Seneviratne JK, Blair JE, Smith BE.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2008 Dec; 38(6):1644-8. PubMed ID: 19016536.
    Abstract:
    Neurologic manifestations of Q fever are predominantly central. We report the case of a 35-year-old man with recurrent fever and motor and sensory deficits in the right C5, C6 territories. Electrophysiological findings were consistent with a right upper-trunk brachial plexopathy or with suprascapular and axillary neuropathies. The patient had full resolution of neurologic symptoms with antibiotic treatment. The association of brachial plexopathy with Q fever infection, described in other rare instances, may merit consideration in individual cases, depending on clinical context.
