MRI of Peliosis Hepatis: A Case Series Presentation With a 2022 Systematic Literature Update
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 58, Issue 5, Page 1386-1405, November 2023., 2023 Background Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign condition, characterized by hepatic sinusoidal dilatation and blood‐filled cystic cavities, often found incidentally, with still challenging diagnosis by imaging due to polymorphic appearance. Purpose Based on a retrospective analysis of our series (12 patients) and systematic literature review (1990 ...

Service evaluation to establish the sensitivity, specificity and additional value of broad-range 16S rDNA PCR for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis from resected endocardial material in patients from eight UK and Ireland hospitals [PDF]
, 2014 Infective endocarditis (IE) can be diagnosed in the clinical microbiology laboratory by culturing explanted heart valve material. We present a service evaluation that examines the sensitivity and specificity of a broad-range 16S rDNA polymerase chain ...

Bartonella clarridgeiae infection in a patient with aortic root abscess and endocarditis [PDF]
, 2019 Introduction. Bartonella species are increasingly recognized as agents of culture-negative endocarditis. However, to date, almost all human cases have been associated with two members of the genus, Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana. B. henselae

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

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.
