ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 40-year-old man with underlying alcoholic liver disease who presented with prolonged fever, jaundice and liver failure associated with Coxiella burnetii infection. After diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment, the patient made a complete recovery. We describe aspects of this case and provide a practical review of the literature on the topic. We also discuss the importance of this infection and the need for its inclusion in the differential diagnosis of this clinical picture.
