Abstract:
We describe two cases of chronic Q fever in hemodialysis patients (HD). In the first case, we discovered chronic Q fever when looking for the cause of an unexplained fever. In the second case, Q fever was diagnosed in a patient who complained of an unexplained shoulder arthritis. To our knowledge these are the first reported cases of chronic Q fever in HD.
