An unusual presentation of acute Q fever infection treated successfully with macrolides.

We report a case of acute Q fever pneumonia with hepato-splenomegaly, mild hepatic involvement and ascites in a previously healthy 29-year-old man. The diagnostic work up for an underlying disease was negative. His medical condition subsequently improved with antibiotics.
