[Recurrent pericarditis with effusion caused by Q fever. Presentation of a case].
We present a case report of recurrent pericarditis with pericardial effusion and high levels of Coxiella burnetti antibodies (phase II), excluding other possible etiologies. The rarity of this disorder is commented and the necessity of be considered this etiological possibility in a second time, particularly in patients who are susceptible to suffer Q-Fever disease.
