Official web site of XV Simposio Anual de AVEDILA Zaragoza Abstract BookSummary
The clinical manifestations of acute infection by Coxiella burnetii show clear differences
among geographic areas, resulting from a respiratory condition that can lead to pneumonia,
to fever of intermediate duration with varying degrees of liver involvement. The
progression to chronic conditions such as endocarditis, granulomatous hepatitis, vascular infection and osteomyelitis
among others, seems clearly related to previous valve damage, in the case of
endocarditis, there is not a hypothesis set for the rest of the chronic manifestations.
