Bartonella quintana Endocarditis and Pauci-Immune Glomerulonephritis in Patient with Known Risk Factors, USA, 2024 - Volume 31, Number 4—April 2025 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

We report an unexpected case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis and pauci-immune glomerulonephritis in a patient without known risk factors in Los Angeles, California, USA, highlighting that infection can occur in the general population without a history of homelessness. The diagnosis was challenging and made definitively through extensive diagnostic tests and multidisciplinary investigation.
