A Case of Bartonella Quintana Culture-Negative Endocarditis. [PDF]
Am J Case Rep, 2019 BACKGROUND Culture-negative Bartonella quintana endocarditis is challenging to diagnose and is associated with high mortality rates. Diagnostic confirmation of Bartonella quintana infection requires specialized assays, as identifying Bartonella henselae endocarditis by serology can be difficult due to the high rate of serological cross-reactivity. This
