  • Title: Q fever endocarditis.
    Author: Pierce MA, Saag MS, Dismukes WE, Cobbs CG.
    Journal: Am J Med Sci; 1986 Aug; 292(2):104-6. PubMed ID: 3728557.
    Abstract:
    Q fever endocarditis, which is seen most often in Great Britain and Australia, has been rarely observed in the United States. A patient with an eight month febrile illness who had signs and symptoms of endocarditis and serologic studies diagnostic of Q fever endocarditis is reported. A history of extensive travel makes it unclear where he originally contracted the disease. Q fever endocarditis is probably underdiagnosed and should be looked for in any case of culture negative endocarditis or chronic fever of unknown origin.
