•Patients meeting the criteria of proven or probable chronic Q-fever according to the Dutch consensus guidelines on chronic Q-fever diagnostics and diagnosed after the Q-fever outbreak of 2007 are eligible for this study.;Patients with QFS are diagnosed according to the following criteria:
•- Fatigue persisting longer than 6 months
•- Laboratory-confirmed acute Q-fever
•- no recent (<3 months ago) chronic Q-fever diagnosis (as described in the previous paragraph)
•- no somatic or psychiatric co-morbidity, which could explain the symptoms
•- fatigue causes significant limitations in daily life (work or home)
•- fatigue symptoms were not present prior to the acute Q-fever infection or since then clearly increased in severity (so-called *knikmoment* or turning point);We will only include the partner of the patients, if the patient has indicated to be married, have a registered partnership or is living together with their partner. ;Patients with diabetes will be included if they have received their diagnosis around 5 to 10 years ago, and are comparable with the Q-fever group in age and gender.

•Patients diagnosed with a possible chronic Q-fever are not eligible for participation in this study, as the majority of these patients ultimately appear not to have chronic Q-fever.;Patients with diabetes and persons in the reference group from the general population will be excluded if they have had a positive Q-fever diagnosis at any time in their life, including no diagnosis of chronic Q-fever or QFS.
