Description: Chronic Q fever, most commonly manifesting as infective endocarditis or endovascular infection, complicates 1–5% of Coxiella burnetii infections. Vertebral osteomyelitis has been described, occurring mostly in the setting of adjacent vascular involvement. We describe two cases of isolated vertebral osteomyelitis, adding further insight into this rarely reported clinical entity.
