  • Title: Management of Bartonella Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis without Cardiac Surgery.
    Author: Papineni P, Carroll A, Radvan J, Hemsley C, Chambers J, Cortes N, Harrison T, Klein JL.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2017 May; 23(5):861-863. PubMed ID: 28418306.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of Bartonella prosthetic valve endocarditis were cured when treated for 2 weeks with gentamicin and 3 months with doxycycline. Clinical cure correlated with decreased Bartonella antibody titers. This report suggests a strategy to monitor, treat, and cure Bartonella prosthetic valve endocarditis.
