Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

high morbidity and mortality. In France, Coxiella burnetii-related vascular infections appear to be increasing, though data remain limited. Two-year mortality reaches 15-18%, mainly due to serious complications such as arterio-digestive fistulas. Diagnosis is often delayed, prognostic factors are poorly defined, and the value of advanced imaging techniques remains insufficiently studied.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Q fever is a worldwide zoonosis that may cause chronic vascular infections with significant morbidity and mortality. In France, the incidence of Coxiella burnetii-related vascular infections appears to be increasing, although published data remain scarce. Reported two-year mortality reaches 15-18%, largely due to severe complications such as arterio-digestive fistulas. Classical risk factors include aortic aneurysm and vascular grafts, but many patients present without clear zoonotic exposure, leading to frequent underdiagnosis. Prognostic factors are poorly defined, apart from the lack of surgical management, which worsens outcomes. Diagnosis is often delayed, and the value of advanced imaging modalities such as 18F-FDG PET/CT or labeled leukocyte scintigraphy remains insufficiently studied.
