Q fever, also known as query fever, is an infection caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. This infection usually presents with mild symptoms that resemble flu. Many people who carry this bacteria may remain asymptomatic for a long time. This bacteria is commonly found in sheep, cattle, and goats. People working with these animals should take special precautions against this infection. Long-term Q fever can lead to serious complications of multiple organs.
