Abstract

A 65-years-old woman developed low-grade fever several weeks after emergency-endovascular-repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging showed intensively increased peri-aortic metabolic activity. The inflammation was considered to be either of autoimmune or infectious nature, (un)related to the repair intervention. Analysis showed positive serological and PCR results for Coxiella burnetii pointing to Q-fever periaortitis.
