Popis: Q groznica je akutna, rijetko kronična infektivna bolest koju uzrokuje bakterija Coxiella burnetii, pleomorfni, intracelularni bacil. Klinički simptomi mogu varirati od lakših kao što su povišena temperatura bez znakova upale pluća pa često bolest ostaje ne prepoznata; te sve do težih simptoma sa dominantnim neurološkim manifestacijama. Za potvrdu dijagnoze važna je serološka metoda, izolacija mikroorganizma ili PCR. U liječenju se koriste tetraciklini, makrolidi te kinoloni. Prikaz slučaja donosi osvrt obiteljskog liječnika na specifičnu zoonozu kao i poznavanje epidemioloških uvjeta u ruralnom, otočkom, okruženju te multidisciplinarni pristup u liječenju bolesnika.
Q fever is an acute, chronic infectious disease caused by Coxiella burnetii, pleomorphic, intracellular bacillus. Clinical symptoms range from mild, such as elevated temperature with no signs of pneumonia causing the infection to remain unrecognized, to severe with dominant neurological manifestations. Serological method, microorganism isolation or PCR is important for diagnosis confirmation. Tetracyclines, macrolides and quinolones are used in the treatment. This case report brings the family doctor's reference to the specific zoonosis as well as his acquaintance with epidemiological conditions in the rural and insular environment and the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients.
