Acute, severe hepatitis due to Coxiella burneti infection. 1986

R P Kelly, and D J Byrnes, and J Turner

An unusual case of Coxiella burneti infection is described in which the patient presented with an "acute abdomen" and marked clinical icterus. This case emphasizes that Q-fever may appear as acute hepatitis and illustrates its "characteristic" histopathological lesions which have been recognized only recently.
