title: [Endocarditis caused by Coxilla burnetii].
abstract: Q-fever is antropozoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii. The microorganism usually transmitted to humans through the inhalation of infected dust from sub clinical infected mammals. The most common reservoirs for Coxiella burnetii are large numbers domestic and wild animals. The illness can occur by farmers or slaughterhouses, or veterinarian and laboratories workers. In this report we presented case of endocarditic caused by Coxiella burnetii. The patient is driver 43 years old, who lived in the countryside Nahorevo. He hospitalized in May, 2002. He had symptoms of hepatitis, with elevation of transaminases in sera. Endocarditic was diagnosed by echosonografy. The patient is controlled by infectologist, cardiologist by cardio-surgeon, but since disease is in progress and operation treatment will be probably necessary.
