CASE REPORT: A 30-year-old male was admitted to hospital because of chest pain and raised cardiac enzymes. Coronary heart disease was excluded by coronary angiography. Assuming myocarditis serological testing was performed and showed markedly raised antibody titers against Coxiella Burnetii. We treated the patient with doxycycline, 2 times 100 mg daily for 5 months. CONCLUSION: Acute Q-fever should be considered as a possible cause of myocarditis, especially in rural areas.
