Bartonella species constitute emerging, vector-borne, intravascular pathogens
that produce long-lasting bacteremia in reservoir-adapted (natural host or
passive carrier of a microorganism) and opportunistic hosts. With the advent of
more sensitive and specific diagnostic tests, there is evolving microbiological
evidence supporting concurrent infection with one or more Bartonella spp. in more
than one family member; however, the mode(s) of transmission to or among family
members remains unclear. In this study, we provide molecular microbiological
evidence of Bartonella henselae genotype San Antonio 2 (SA2) infection in four of
six Danish family members, including a child who died of unknown causes at 14
months of age.
