Article Synopsis
- Q fever is an infectious disease that can present as either acute or chronic, with chronic cases being more common, often leading to serious conditions like endocarditis.
- Endocarditis related to Q fever frequently affects individuals with prior heart valve issues, such as those with Tetralogy of Fallot who have undergone surgical repairs.
- Early and accurate diagnosis of Q fever endocarditis can be challenging but was successfully achieved in this study using 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging and identifying Q fever antibodies.
