Abstract
IntroductionQ fever is a polymorphic disease, which can induce neurological disturbances. The central nervous system is mainly involved while peripheral neuropathies are rare with less than 15 cases reported in the literature. Case-reportWe report here a case of acute polyradiculoneuritis associated with acute Q fever, with favorable outcome after antibiotic and intravenous immunoglobulin therapies. ConclusionSerologic tests for Coxiella burnetii should be performed in case of unusual polyradiculoneuritis with fever, headache and neuro-ophthalmologic disorders, even when environmental exposure is lacking, because Q fever requires specific antibiotic treatment and serological follow-up.
