Bartonella can cause a damaging endocarditis and patients typically need valve replacement. Infective endocarditis (IE) and small vessel vasculitis (SVV) can have similar clinical features and the presence of ANCA can be misleading and it is critical to differentiate between IE and SVV since their treatment are vastly different.
متن کاملBartonella Endocarditis Imitating Anca-Associated Vasculitis
We describe a case of Bartonella endocarditis and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Initially, the patient was suspected of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) with involvement of the aortic valve due to high levels of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and negative blood cultures. The patient’s condition worsened on the initiated treatment with steroids and cyclophosphamide, which lead to f...

Eight patients with chronic Q fever endocarditis were treated with tetracycline for up to 40 months. In addition, five of these patients received co-trimoxazole. Six patients had prosthetic valves. Two patients who had Q fever endocarditis on their native valves required valve replacement because of haemodynamic difficulties: in only one did the Q fever endocarditis contribute to the haemodynam...
