  • Title: Fatal case of endocarditis associated with Bartonella henselae type I infection in a domestic cat.
    Author: Chomel BB, Wey AC, Kasten RW, Stacy BA, Labelle P.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2003 Nov; 41(11):5337-9. PubMed ID: 14605199.
    Abstract:
    We report the first feline case of Bartonella henselae endocarditis. Despite negative blood cultures, the cat had high Bartonella antibody titers and B. henselae type I DNA was detected in the damaged aortic valve. Microscopic examination of the valve revealed endocarditis with small silver positive coccoid structures in endothelial cells.
