“….05 that IgA titers to phase 1 are not diagnostic for chronic Q fever [1]. When the data for the 97 patients from our study and other recent studies published in 1997-2000 [2,3,11,12] were compared with the data from 76 patients reported in 1967-1987 [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], we found a significantly higher prevalence of splenomegaly, digital clubbing, increased ESR, thrombocytopenia, and increased liver enzyme activities in the patients described in the earlier studies (table 1).…”

Fifteen cases of Q fever endocarditis that occurred in 1999-2000 in southern France are described and compared with 15 cases from the same area reported in 1987. Significant decreases were found in the prevalences of heart failure, hepatomegaly, inflammatory syndrome, anemia, leukopenia, and abnormal liver function test results in patients who had Q fever endocarditis after 1997. This was probably the result of a reduction in the delay before diagnosis of the disease and of the use of novel, effective antibiotic regimens.

“…Evans, Powell & Burrell (1959) reported a fatal case of endocarditis associated with Q fever. Recent published work of Grist, Ross & Sommerville (1967) and Kristinsson & Bentall (1967) has implicated R. burneti as a cause of subacute endocarditis. If a patient is, therefore, known to have had Q fever and later in life develops an unexplained low grade febrile illness, the possibility of rickettsial endocarditis should be borne in mind.…”
