Bartonella species are emerging infectious diseases. Diagnosis involves pathological examination, culture, serology, and PCR, with generally favorable prognoses and diverse antibiotic treatment options.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • The number of Bartonella species has significantly increased, presenting as emergent diseases.
  • Various Bartonella species are linked to distinct human illnesses, including Carrion's disease, Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD), endocarditis, neuroretinitis, bacillary angiomatosis, peliosis, and trench fever.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of the expanding Bartonella genus and associated human diseases.
  • To outline diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies for Bartonella infections.

Summary:

  • Bartonella species are increasingly recognized as significant pathogens.
  • Diseases include Carrion's disease (B. bacilliformis), CSD (B. henselae, B. clarridgeiae), endocarditis (B. elizabethae, B. vinsonii), neuroretinitis (B. grahamii), bacillary angiomatosis, peliosis (B. henselae, B. quintana), and trench fever (B. quintana).
