Abstract :A Case Report: Q Fever with Acute Hepatitis Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Department of Internal Medicine, İZMİR Elif Ertan, Talha Özüdoğru, İsmail Demir Abstract Q fever is a zoonotic bacterial infection caused by Coxiella burnetii. The primary sources of this pathogen are small and large livestock. The causative agent is disseminated into the environment through the birth products, milk, feces, and urine of infected animals. This bacterium is highly resistant to environmental conditions. Transmission from animals to humans and/or from humans to humans occurs via inhalation. The acute disease presentation can be asymptomatic or resemble influenza-like symptoms, and it can also lead to more severe manifestations such as fever, pneumonia, and hepatitis. In cases with severe clinical courses, Q fever should be considered in the differential diagnosis, especially considering epidemiological risks. This paper discusses a case presenting with fever, jaundice, and hepatitis, subsequently diagnosed as Q fever.
Keywords : fever, hepatitis, jaundice
