A CLAW TO THE LUNG: A PULMONARY MANIFESTATION OF …
INTRODUCTION: Infection from Bartonella henselae typically produces a localized cutaneous lymphadenitis. However, disseminated disease may occur and can be life-threatening. Pulmonary manifestations of Bartonella range from solitary nodules to pneumonia and ARDS.

2023年6月25日 · Bartonella is a gram-negative intracellular facultative bacterium that is commonly implicated in causing zoonotic infections globally. Almost 20 different species of Bartonella have been isolated thus far among in which Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana, and Bartonella bacilliformis are frequently associated with infections in humans.

2020年10月27日 · Learn about bartonella, a common Lyme disease coinfection, including symptoms, testing, and treatment for infection such as antibiotics and herbal therapy.
Bartonellosis - PMC - National Center for Biotechnology Information
2013年8月26日 · Bartonella spp. are fastidious, intraerythrocytic gram-negative bacteria that infect a wide range of domestic and wild mammalian host species. Different Bartonella species have adapted to specific mammalian reservoir hosts and can infect and occasionally cause disease in alternative, incidental hosts.
Bartonella Species | Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2024 ...
Bartonella species are responsible for a wide variety of clinical syndromes. Bacillary angiomatosis, an important manifestation of bartonellosis, is discussed in Chapter 33. A variety of atypical infections, including retinitis, encephalitis, osteomyelitis, and persistent bacteremia and endocarditis (especially consider in culture-negative ...

Bartonella - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Bartonella are Gram-negative, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect vertebrate hosts. Bartonella spp. are vasculotropic pathogens that invade and interact with endothelial cells, ultimately interfering with normal functions, including cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Bartonella - ScienceDirect
2015年1月1日 · Bartonellae are facultative intracellular pathogens that employ haemotrophy (infection of erythrocytes) as a parasitic strategy. As such, their growth in vitro can only be accomplished in media containing blood or haem supplements, and even then they are notoriously fastidious and slow-growing.
Pathology of Pulmonary Infection - PMC
The lung shows necrotizing granulomatous lesions surrounded by a zone of fibrosis, and regional lymph nodes show stellate necrosis that can mimics “cat-scratch” disease due to Bartonella henselae. The offending organism is a gram-negative motile bacillus that shows bipolar staining that can be difficult to demonstrate in situ.
