Q fever can present in acute or chronic form with a wide range of clinical symptoms and presentations. Here we report severe pericarditis with cardiac tamponade due to a chronic Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) infection. Our report emphasizes and justifies the importance of serological testing for chronic Q fever in patients with unexplained pericarditis, particularly in areas where C. burnetii is endemic.
