title: Demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis following Coxiella burnetti infection (Q fever).
abstract: Neurological complications of Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) are rare, although the occurrence of headache, paresthesias, and transient focal deficits has been reported. We report the case of a patient with a relapsing demyelinating polyradiculoneuritis as an aftermath of C. burnetti endocarditis and pneumonia.
