Diagnosis and treatment of culture negative endocarditis remains a challenge. This report describes a rare cause of endocarditis in humans, Bartonella vinsonii, identified through next generation sequencing of plasma microbial cell-free DNA with confirmation of cardiac valve tissue infection through immunohistochemical staining and polymerase chain reaction.
血培养阴性的心内膜炎的诊断和治疗仍然是一项挑战。本报告描述了一种人类心内膜炎的罕见病因——文森巴尔通体,它是通过对血浆微生物游离DNA进行二代测序鉴定出来的,并通过免疫组化染色和聚合酶链反应证实了心脏瓣膜组织感染。
