Abstract

Q fever is a zoonotic infection
caused by the pathogen Coxiella burnetii.
Main sources of bacteria are cattle, ships and goats.
Human is usually infected by inhaled particles or digestion of contaminated
milk and milk products.
Q fever can present with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The diagnosis of Q fever cases is missed out since the
acute sickness generally appears asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic disease. Acute
infections can occur sporadic or sometimes can cause outbreaks. Q fever should
be considered in the differential diagnosis in the cases presenting with
pneumonia, hepatitis or other disease symptoms with fever and had any
epidemiological relationship. The Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) can
interfere with Q fever symptoms according to the clinical and laboratory
findings. In this paper, a male patient who was living in the province of Bolu
and engaged in animal husbandry was presented. He was admitted with fever,
chills, headache, pain in the back of the eye and was diagnosed as Q fever. He
was first diagnosed as Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) because of
thrombocytopenia and high transaminase and CPK levels, but PCR and serologic
tests for CCHF were negative. The diagnose was made by the positive indirect
fluorescent antibody test for Q fever, the titer of Coxiella burnetii IgG (Phase 2) antibodies was 1/128. The clinical
and laboratory findings were improved with the doxycycline treatment.  As a result,
in cases working in animal husbandry and having high
fever, headache and high liver enzyme tests, Q fever should be kept in mind in
the differential diagnosis.

Kırım Kongo kanamalı ateşi ile karışan Q ateşi olgusu

Abstract

Q ateşi, Coxiella burnetii’nin neden olduğu zoonotik bir enfeksiyondur.
Başlıca enfeksiyon kaynağı sığır, koyun ve keçi gibi çiftlik hayvanlarıdır.
İnsanlara bulaş genellikle enfekte partiküllerin solunması, kontamine süt veya
süt ürünlerinin ağız yoluyla alınmasıyla olur.
Q ateşi geniş bir yelpazede
klinik bulgularla ortaya çıkabilir.
Akut Q ateşi kliniğinin genelde
asemptomatik veya hafif seyirli ateşli hastalık şeklinde olması nedeni ile akut
olgularının tanısı atlanabilir. Akut enfeksiyonlar sporadik veya bazen
salgınlar şeklinde ortaya cıkabilir. Ateşle birlikte pnömoni, hepatit veya
diğer hastalık bulgularıyla başvuran olgularda epidemiyolojik ilişki de varsa  Q ateşi ayırıcı tanıda akla gelmelidir. Kırım
Kongo kanamalı ateşi (KKKA) ile Q ateşi semptom, klinik ve laboratuvar
bulguları ile karışabilmektedir. Bu yazıda; Bolu ili ilçesinde yaşayan ve
hayvancılıkla uğraşan
ateş, üşüme-titreme, baş ağrısı, göz
arkasında ağrı
şikayetleri ile başvuran, Q ateşi tanısı konulan bir erkek hasta
sunuldu. Laboratuvar testlerinde; trombositopeni, transaminaz değerlerinde ve
CPK değerinde yükseklik olması nedeniyle başlangıçta KKKA ön tanısı konan hastada
KKKA için PZR ve serolojik testleri negatifti, 
Q ateşine yönelik istenen 
indirekt floresan antikor testinde
Coxiella burnetii
IgG (Faz 2) 1/128 pozitif saptanması ile tanı konuldu.
Doksisiklin tedavisi başlanan hastanın klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları düzeldi.
Sonuç olarak, hayvancılıkla uğraşan, yüksek ateş, baş ağrısı
ve karaciğer enzim testlerinde yükseklik saptanan olgularda ayırıcı tanıda Q
ateşi de akılda tutulmalıdır.
