Bartonella species have been shown to cause acute, undifferentiated fever in Thailand. A study to identify causes of endocarditis that were blood culture-negative using routine methods led to the first reported case in Thailand of Bartonella endocarditis A 57 year-old male with underlying rheumatic heart disease presented with severe congestive heart failure and suspected infective endocarditis. The patient underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement. Routine hospital blood cultures were negative but B. henselae was identified by serology, PCR, immunohistochemistry and specific culture techniques.
巴尔通体已被证明可在泰国引起急性、未分化型发热。一项旨在确定常规方法血培养阴性的心内膜炎病因的研究，导致泰国首次报告巴尔通体心内膜炎病例。一名患有潜在风湿性心脏病的57岁男性出现严重充血性心力衰竭并疑似感染性心内膜炎。该患者接受了主动脉瓣和二尖瓣置换术。医院常规血培养结果为阴性，但通过血清学、聚合酶链反应、免疫组织化学和特定培养技术鉴定出了汉赛巴尔通体。
