ABSTRACT
For Once Not Corona Virus - an Uncommon Cause of Fever and Hepatitis Abstract. Our case reports acute Q fever as uncommon cause of fever, typically accompanied by pneumonia and/or hepatitis. It is caused by Coxiella burnetii, a bacterium which is generally hosted by live stock and affects humans by inhaling aerosols of the animals' excrements. If detected, it may be treated effectively. It should be considered in patients living in a typical environment or with a typical history. The route of our patient's infection remains unclear since he plausibly denied contact with any animals.
