Abstract

Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch disease, is increasingly recognized as a cause of culture-negative endocarditis. This report describes the first Japanese case, which was diagnosed after a prolonged culture of the excised aortic valve. High IgG and IgM titers to B. henselae pointed to a subacute course of the disease.

摘要

汉赛巴尔通体，即猫抓病的病原体，正日益被认为是导致培养阴性心内膜炎的原因之一。本报告描述了首例日本病例，该病例是在对切除的主动脉瓣进行长时间培养后诊断出来的。针对汉赛巴尔通体的高 IgG 和 IgM 滴度提示该病呈亚急性病程。
