Bartonella spp. Infections Identified by Molecular Methods, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Molecular methods can enable rapid identification of Bartonella spp. infections, which are difficult to diagnose by using culture or serology. We analyzed clinical test results of PCR that targeted bacterial 16S rRNA hypervariable V1–V2 regions only or ...

Bartonella quintanain head louse nits [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2011
The body louse is the principal vector of Bartonella quintana, the causative organism of trench fever, but B. quintana DNA has also been detected in adult head lice. Because there are no characteristics that distinguish the body louse from the head louse, we decided to test head louse nits collected from a homeless man for the presence of B.

Survey of the Seroprevalence of Bartonella quintana in Homeless People [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1996
Trench fever is caused by Bartonella (Rochalimaea) quintana, a small gram-negative rod that is transmitted by body lice. Recently, B. quintana infections in homeless patients have been reported in the United States and Europe. From October 1993 to October 1994, the seroprevalence of antibodies to B.

Bartonella quintanaCharacteristics and Clinical Management

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Bartonella quintana, a pathogen that is restricted to human hosts and louse vectors, was first characterized as the agent of trench fever. The disease was described in 1915 on the basis of natural and experimental infections in soldiers. It is now recognized as a reemerging pathogen among homeless populations in cities in the United States and Europe ...
