Successful surgical treatment for Coxiella burnetii endocarditis is presented. This case highlights effective diagnosis and long-term management of Q fever endocarditis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Bacteriology

Background:

  • Infective endocarditis requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.
  • Coxiella burnetii is a rare but serious cause of endocarditis.
  • Q fever endocarditis poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with aortic valve endocarditis caused by Coxiella burnetii.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed by high Phase I Coxiella burnetii antibody titers and echocardiographic findings.
  • The patient experienced acute hemodynamic compromise necessitating emergency aortic valve replacement.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical intervention and long-term antibiotic therapy (doxycycline and rifampicin) were administered.
  • The patient demonstrated a positive outcome with good health at 18 months post-surgery.
