Abstract

A case of severe transient marrow hypoplasia as a complication of Q fever is described. This caused marked thrombocytopenia and anemia. The patient recovered fully over the period of 1 wk. The initial marrow showed severe hypoplasia. The subsequent regenerating marrow showed numerous epithelioid granulomas one of which had a characteristic fibrin ring.
