A Case of Pediatric Q Fever Osteomyelitis Managed Without Antibiotics.
Khatami A, Sparks RT, Marais BJ.
Pediatrics. 2015;136(6):e1629-31.
We describe a case of Q fever osteomyelitis in a 6-year-old boy in which a decision was made not to treat the patient with combination antimicrobial agents, balancing possible risks of recurrence against potential side effects of prolonged antibiotic treatment.

A Case of Pediatric Q Fever Osteomyelitis Managed Without Antibiotics.
Khatami A, Sparks RT, Marais BJ.
Pediatrics. 2015;136(6):e1629-31.
This case suggests that a conservative approach of watchful waiting in an asymptomatic patient with chronic Q fever osteomyelitis may be warranted in select cases when close follow-up is possible.

Khatami A, Sparks RT, Marais BJ.

Q fever osteomyelitis, caused by infection with Coxiella burnetti, is rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis of children with culture-negative osteomyelitis, particularly if there is a history of contact with farm animals, and/or granulomatous change on histologic examination of a bone biopsy specimen.

J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2015;4(3):e28-31.
In endemic settings, Q fever should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis; in particular, presumed chronic-recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis should be considered a possible presentation of Q fever osteo-articular disease in children.
