BACKGROUND
To describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of hepatic involvement in a cohort of 109 patients with Q fever.
RESULTS
Involvement of the liver alone was documented in 55% of cases. In 96% it was manifested as a febrile process without focal symptoms and hepatic cytolysis. There were no differences in epidemiologic characteristics between patients with hepatitis and those and without.
CONCLUSIONS
Q fever should be included in the differential diagnosis of community-acquired febrile syndromes.
