“…The genus Bartonella includes at least 30 species and subspecies, and around 12 are human pathogens (BOULOUIS et al, 2005;LAMAS et al, 2008) responsible for syndromes such as Carrion's disease caused by Bartonella bacilliformis (nonexistent in non Andean countries), trench fever by Bartonella quintana, cat-scratch disease (CSD), bacillary angiomatosis, along with recurrent bacteremia, septicemia, endocarditis, trombocytopenic purpura, erythema multiforme, erythema nodosum, severe anemia and peliosis hepatis (BREITSCHWERDT et al, 2010). Bartonella henselae is the most frequently identified species in human infections (LAMAS et al, 2008;BREITSHWERDT et al, 2010).…”

“…O relato de contato com pulgas e carrapatos associado ao quadro clínico orientou a suspeita de bartonelose, assim como a história de trabalho com macacos, cuja infecção natural por Bartonella foi recentemente detectada 5,8 . Diante da possibilidade da tripanossomíase africana, uma análise molecular também foi realizada e o resultado negativo, assim como a própria evolução clínica da paciente, ratificou o diagnóstico de bartonelose 8 .…”

“…Embora a análise sorológica tivesse sido realizada em uma única amostra de soro e o teste sorológico para Bartonella henselae possa apresentar reação cruzada com outras espécies de Bartonella e, em baixos títulos de anticorpos, também com os gêneros Coxiella e Chlamydia, o título sorológico de 512, considerando a sua elevada especificidade (94 a 96%), assim como a própria clínica reforçam a evidência de infecção ativa por bactéria do gênero Bartonella neste caso clínico 5 .…”
