Acute infection with Coxiella burnetii usually results in a self-limited illness, but it can occasionally cause chronic endocarditis or hepatitis. Headache is a common presenting symptom of acute infection with this agent, but specific neurological abnormalities are rare. We report the case of a patient with acute Q fever that caused frank encephalitis. We also review the literature on central nervous system disease attributable to C. burnetii.
伯纳特立克次体急性感染通常导致一种自限性疾病，但偶尔可引起慢性心内膜炎或肝炎。头痛是该病原体急性感染的常见症状，但特定的神经功能异常较为罕见。我们报告了一例由急性Q热导致明显脑炎的患者病例。我们还回顾了关于伯纳特立克次体所致中枢神经系统疾病的文献。
