We report a fatal case of bacteremic patient. He had negative serology and PCRs from whole blood and liquid culture; only nested PCR was positive from the blood liquid culture. The isolate had positive PCRs. When considered, bartonellosis diagnosis can be still challenging because of technical limitations.
