AB We describe a 37-year-old farmer with a 3-week history of fevers and
hepatitis, in whom Q fever was diagnosed. The diagnosis was based on the
findings of characteristic ring granulomas on a bone marrow biopsy
specimen and confirmed by complement-fixation antibody tests to Coxiella
burnetii. Unusual aspects of this case included (1) relatively low
complement-fixation antibody titers, (2) prolonged prothrombin time, (3)
false-positive results of a serologic test for the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and (4) ring granulomas that progressed to
atypical granulomas in biopsy specimens.
