- Abstract
Vascular access infection is a frequent complication in hemodialysis patients. We report the second case worldwide of a prosthetic hemodialysis vascular graft infection by Coxiella burnetii, with intense hypermetabolism on PET-CT, Q fever serology consistent with persistent infection, and positive C. burnetii DNA in the blood and removed vascular graft.
