| Description | Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium. This infection has many different reservoirs that mainly consist of dairy cattle. Infection in humans is often asymptomatic, but may appear either in an acute form accompanied mainly by fever (self-limited flu-like disease, pneumonia, or hepatitis) or in a chronic form (mainly endocarditis). |
