Abstract

Chronic Q fever (QF) infection is considered a synonym for endocarditis and, less frequently, hepatitis. Rarely, it may resemble hematological malignancies. We present an unusual chronic QF infection mimicking lymphoma with secondary hemophagocytosis. A high level of suspicion for QF is essential in cases with an unusual course.
