Coxiella burnetii is a well-known causative agent of granulomatous inflammation and an inducer of morphological changes and transformation of human B lymphocytes in vitro. An association of the organism with polymorphic reticulosis (PMR), a malignant granulomatous inflammation characterized by polymorphic lymphocytes, was examined. The infection of C. burnetii was demonstrated in all cases tested, especially in polymorphic lymphocytes. Also the presence of morphologically transformed peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) infected with C. burnetii was demonstrated. In cultures of blood lymphocytes, C. burnetii-infected polymorphic cells identified as B cells became immortalized in vitro. These findings implicate the role of C. burnetii in the process of PMR.
