To our knowledge, no cases of Bartonella henselae endocarditis leading to subsequent heart transplantation salvage therapy have been published. We present a case of a 29-year-old man with cat-inflicted B henselae endocarditis and concurrent worsening heart failure, who then underwent successful heart transplantation 50 days following diagnosis. Treatment and monitoring strategies used in this patient are discussed. Furthermore, we review literature related to heart transplantation salvage therapy for endocarditis due to other intracellular pathogens.
据我们所知，目前尚未发表过因汉赛巴尔通体心内膜炎而接受后续心脏移植挽救治疗的病例。我们报告一例29岁男性患者，因猫抓感染汉赛巴尔通体心内膜炎并伴有心力衰竭加重，在诊断后50天成功接受心脏移植。本文讨论了该患者所采用的治疗和监测策略。此外，我们还回顾了有关因其他细胞内病原体引起的心内膜炎进行心脏移植挽救治疗的相关文献。
