Abstract
This report describes the case of a patient who had a fever of unknown origin and granulomatous hepatitis. Numerous granulomas were present in sections from a bone-marrow biopsy and bone-marrow clot obtained as a part of the diagnostic evaluation. Subsequent serologic studies proved the patient had Q fever. The authors re-emphasize that a distinctive form of granuloma occurs in the bone marrow with Q fever and that Q fever should always be a consideration in the differential diagnosis of bone-marrow granulomas.Keywords
