Abstract
BARTONELLA SPECIES are small, gram-negative bacilli that have recently been shown to cause endocarditis.1 Currently, Bartonella quintana, the agent of trench fever, and Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat-scratch disease, are the major causes of Bartonella endocarditis.2-5 Single cases of endocarditis caused by Bartonella elizabethae and Bartonella vinsonii subspecies berkhoffii have also been reported.6,7Keywords
