title: Chronic recurrent multifocal Q fever osteomyelitis in children: a case report and review of the literature: Retracted.
abstract: Q fever is a common worldwide zoonosis that is often difficult to diagnose because of its variety and the fact that its clinical symptoms are highly unspecific. We present a rare case of chronic multifocal osteomyelitis caused by Coxiella burnetti in a 2-year-old girl, which has recurred on many occasions, although the patient is under treatment with the most widely accepted approaches from other studies. A systemic review of the little published literature on this patients shows that there is no universal consensus with regard to the most adequate treatment.
