Endocarditis caused by Bartonella species is difficult to diagnose and still remains a rare entity. Therefore, a young male patient undergoing aortic valve replacement for culture-negative endocarditis is reported in whom the diagnosis of a Bartonella quintana infection was made with a great delay postoperatively.
巴尔通体属引起的心内膜炎难以诊断，且仍然较为罕见。因此，本文报告了一名因培养阴性的心内膜炎接受主动脉瓣置换术的年轻男性患者，其巴尔通体五日热感染的诊断在术后延迟了很久才得以明确。
