Acute Q fever in pregnancy: report and literature review

INTERNAL MEDICINE JOURNAL, Issue 7 2009
J. Denman
Abstract Acute Q fever in pregnancy is uncommon, but is probably underrecognized. It results in a significant risk of adverse pregnancy outcome and also predisposes to the development of chronic Q fever in the mother. Here, we review the clinical features, epidemiology, treatment and follow-up of acute Q fever in pregnancy. The potential for transmission of Coxiella to the neonate and birthing suite staff will also be highlighted. [source]

Histopathology of a granulomatous lobular panniculitis in acute Q fever: a case report

JOURNAL OF CUTANEOUS PATHOLOGY, Issue 8 2010
R Soulard
Q fever is a zoonotic infection caused by Coxiella burnetii. Two forms of the disease have been described: an acute form with pneumonia, hepatitis or a flu-like syndrome; and a chronic form in which endocarditis is the most frequent clinical expression. We report a 77 year old male with fever and an erythematous nodule on the right leg. Biopsy revealed a granulomatous lobular panniculitis with some granulomas rimmed by an eosinophilic material, giving a "doughnut" or "fibrin-ring" appearance. Q fever serological studies were positive. Cutaneous signs, among them panniculitis, are probably underestimated during the acute phase of the disease, and recognizing different granulomatous patterns may contribute to the diagnosis.
