Wiener-Well Y et al. - Q fever endocarditis is a chronic disease with protean manifestations. The clinical and serological manifestations of nine patients diagnosed as having Q fever endocarditis during a 19-year period are reviewed. Four patients (44%) required valve replacement due to congestive heart failure. Three of these four patients were diagnosed as having Q fever endocarditis only after elective valve surgery, by histopathological examination of the valve and subsequent serological tests.
