In 2012 the multidisciplinary guideline Q fever fatigue syndrome was developed for the Netherlands. The availability of new research data and developments and experiences from daily clinical practice made it necessary to revise this guideline. The multidisciplinary working group that has revised the guideline is composed of representatives from all medical professions involved in the care of patients with QFS and representatives of the patients' association. The revised guideline incorporates a number of changes, including refinement of the QFS diagnostic criteria and updates regarding advice on support and reintegration.
