“…Bartonella spp. can cause many idiopathic manifestations as fever of unknown origin, negative-culture endocarditis, febrile hepatosplenomegaly, cardiomyopathy, recurrent or severe anemia, chronic lymphadenopathy, hepatitis, serositis, febrile maculopapular rash, chronic fatigue, and also angioproliferative or granulomatous reactions (Greub and Raoult 2002, Florin et al 2008, Velho and Ericson 2012.…”

Bartonellosis are diseases caused by any kind of Bartonella species. The infection manifests as asymptomatic bacteremia to potentially fatal disorders. Many species are pathogenic to humans, but three are responsible for most clinical symptoms: Bartonella bacilliformis, Bartonella quintana, and Bartonella henselae. Peruvian wart, caused by B. bacilliformis, may be indistinguishable from bacillary angiomatosis caused by the other two species. Other cutaneous manifestations include maculo-papular rash in trench fever, papules or nodules in cat scratch disease, and vasculitis (often associated with endocarditis). In addition, febrile morbilliform rash, purpura, urticaria, erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme, erythema marginatus, granuloma annularis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, granulomatous reactions, and angioproliferative reactions may occur. Considering the broad spectrum of infection and the potential complications associated with Bartonella spp., the infection should be considered by physicians more frequently among the differential diagnoses of idiopathic conditions. Health professionals and researchers often neglected this diseases.

“…Acute/subacute liver involvement has been widely described in immunocompetent and immunodeficient Bartonella sp.-infected pediatric and adult patients [ 12 ], unlike adenovirus, which is only related to liver inflammation in immunodeficient patients [ 13 ]. This bacterium has already been associated with granulomatous hepatitis, bacillar angiomatosis and peliosis in the liver, and even nonspecific hepatitis [ 14 ]. We recently documented, using liquid and solid cultures and molecular tests, that B .…”
