Fatal myocarditis-associated Bartonella quintana endocarditis: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 07/22/09

Montcriol A et al. – A 50–year–old Senegalese man was admitted to the Department of Cardiac Surgery with a culture–negative endocarditis. Despite valvular surgery and adequate antibiotic treatment, recurrence of the endocarditis was observed on the prosthetic mitral valve. Heart failure required circulatory support. Weaning off the circulatory support could not be attempted owing to the absence of heart recovery. Bacteriological diagnosis of Bartonella quintana endocarditis was performed by molecular methods retrospectively after the death of the patient.
