We report a childhood case of severe acute cerebellitis caused by Coxiella burnetii. After 10 days of fever and headache, the patient fell into a drowsy state. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed pleocytosis, an increased level of protein, and negative results in bacterial and viral studies. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a herniated tonsil compressed by the swollen vermis. Administration of minocycline relieved the patient's clinical symptoms. C. burnetii was isolated from the CSF obtained during convalescence.
