== Notable studies == * 2002, D. Raoult wrote an essay, "Q fever: still a mysterious disease" for ''QJM: An International Journal of Medicine'' and which he stated:<blockquote>"It has been reported following Q fever in Australia and in the UK. In contrast, few cases of post‐Q‐fever fatigue have been documented from France and Canada. Wildman et al., in this issue of the journal, found that in the follow‐up of patients with Q fever, fatigue and [[idiopathic chronic fatigue]] were found in nearly 65% of patients, twice as frequently as in controls. Whether this fatigue is psychological in origin, or directly caused by the bacterium, is unknown''.''"<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Raoult | first= D. | date = 2002-08-01| title = Q fever: still a mysterious disease|url=https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/qjmed/95.8.491|journal=QJM|volume=95|issue=8 | pages = 491–492|doi=10.1093/qjmed/95.8.491}}</ref></blockquote> * 2002, Marmion, B.P., et al., deconstructed Raoult's techniques and theory: <blockquote> "The time is well past for sceptical opinion from the sidelines based on experience in unrelated Q fever research. We submit that it is now time for Dr Raoult's group to follow accepted scientific process and to attempt to confirm our results locally now that they have identified the fatigue syndrome (QFS=‘asthenia Q fever’) in French patients. It is necessary to follow patients systematically for more than two years after the initial acute infection." Marmion, et al., showed that more advanced assay methods identified approximately 8–10% of Q fever patients, who exhibit similar symptoms but do not reach immune or other homeostasis after one year or longer that constitute the serious social and medical problem known as Q fever fatigue syndrome.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Marmion | first = B.P. | date = 2002-12-01| title = Q fever: still a mysterious disease|url=https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/qjmed/95.12.832|journal=QJM|volume=95|issue=12 | pages = 832–833|doi=10.1093/qjmed/95.12.832}}</ref></blockquote> * 2016, Coxiella burnetii dormancy in a fatal ten-year multisystem dysfunctional illness: case report.<ref name="dormancy">{{Cite journal | last = Sukocheva | first=Olga A. | last2 = Manavis | first2 = Jim | last3 = Kok | first3 = Tuck-Weng | last4 = Turra | first4 = Mark | last5 = Izzo | first5 = Angelo | last6 = Blumbergs | first6 = Peter | last7 = Marmion | first7 = Barrie P. | date = 2016-04-18| title = Coxiella burnetii dormancy in a fatal ten-year multisystem dysfunctional illness: case report|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s12879-016-1497-z|journal=BMC Infectious Diseases|volume=16|issue=1|pages=165|doi=10.1186/s12879-016-1497-z|issn=1471-2334|pmc = 4835832|pmid=27091026}}</ref> * 2016, a literature review concluded that: "Long-term fatigue following acute Q-fever, generally referred to as QFS, has major health-related consequences.
