Murine antibody responses distinguish Rochalimaea henselae from Rochalimaea quintana.
Rochalimaea henselae causes persistent bacteremia, bacillary angiomatosis, and parenchymal bacillary peliosis. Detection of a specific antibody response to R. henselae infection may represent an alternative to cultivation as a means of diagnosis. We assessed the specificity of induced murine antibodies for antigens from R. henselae and the closely related species R. quintana. Groups of CD-1 mic...
متن کاملCompetence of Cimex lectularius Bed Bugs for the Transmission of Bartonella quintana, the Agent of Trench Fever
BACKGROUND Bartonella quintana, the etiologic agent of trench fever and other human diseases, is transmitted by the feces of body lice. Recently, this bacterium has been detected in other arthropod families such as bed bugs, which begs the question of their involvement in B. quintana transmission. Although several infectious pathogens have been reported and are suggested to be transmitted by be...

Background and Aims: Neonatal sepsis is considered a clinical syndrome characterized by signs and symptoms of infection associated with positive blood culture. The present study investigates the rate of sensitivity and resistance to antibiotics in neonates with definite sepsis. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 268 neonates with definitive sepsis (positive bloo...
متن کاملBacillary angiomatosis and bacillary splenitis in immunocompetent adults.
Bacillary angiomatosis and parenchymal bacillary peliosis are recently described vascular disorders associated with infection by Rochalimaea henselae and Rochalimaea quintana, which occur in patients with either human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or druginduced immune suppression (1-5). In addition, R. henselae and R. quintana (also the agent of trench fever) are both members of the f...
