Abstract

Q fever is a widespread zoonosis that is brought on by the intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii. Aortic aneurysm, endocarditis, vascular-graft infection, and chronic Q fever infections are usually linked to cardiovascular complications of C. burnetii infections. In this study, it was aimed to review the cardiovascular complications of Q fever.

Özet

Q ateşi, hücre içi patojen olan Coxiella burnetii’nin neden olduğu yaygın bir zoonozdur. Q ateşine bağlı olarak endokardit, aort anevrizması, vasküler greft enfeksiyonu, miyokardit gibi birçok kardiyovasküler komplikasyonlar olduğu bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Q ateşinin kardiyovasküler komplikasyonlarının gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
