Overview
The mainstay of therapy for Q fever is doxycycline. The chronic form of Q fever is more difficult to treat and can require up to two years of treatment with doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine. Q fever in pregnancy is especially difficult to treat because doxycycline is contraindicated in pregnancy, so preferred treatment is trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
