Polmonite da Coxiella burnetii
Chest radiograph of a right upper
lobe segmental infiltrate secondary to
Coxiella burnetii infection. Chest
radiograph abnormalities in Q fever
most resemble those seen with viral
and Mycoplasma pneumoniae
infection.
The presence of a severe
headache may be a clue to the
diagnosis, which is confirmed
serologically because isolation is
difficult and hazardous to laboratory
personnel.
