Journal Article
First description of Bartonella koehlerae infection in a Spanish dog with infective endocarditis
2017
Overview
Background
Bartonella koehlerae
has been recently described as a new cat- and cat fleas-associated agent of culture-negative human endocarditis. It has been also encountered in one dog from Israel and six dogs from the USA, but other clinically relevant reports involving this bacterium are lacking.
Results
A 7-year-old intact male mixed dog presented with clinico-pathological signs consistent with mitral endocarditis and cutaneous hemangiosarcoma. Molecular studies revealed the presence of
Bartonella koehlerae
DNA in samples from blood and mitral valve tissue.
Conclusions
This is the first description of
B. koehlerae
in Spain, corroborating that it can also be detected in dogs.
Bartonella koehlerae
infection should also be considered in Spain in humans and dogs presenting with clinical disease suggestive of it, such as culture-negative endocarditis.
