Clinically, <jats:italic>B. quintana<\/jats:italic> can manifest as asymptomatic bacteremia or with subtle subacute constitutional symptoms. Second, it is a fastidious organism that is difficult to identify using traditional culture methods. Last, the body lice vector of <jats:italic>B. quintana<\/jats:italic> transmission is likely not uncommon in most patients affected, who are homeless and of low socioeconomic status. Therefore, barriers in seeking medical care and financial constraints for medications are important considerations. The mainstay of literature surrounding <jats:italic>B. quintana<\/jats:italic> endocarditis is from Europe and the developing nations. Herein, we describe a case of native valve endocarditis secondary to <jats:italic>B. quintana<\/jats:italic> in a homeless male with preexisting valvular disease and undertake a comprehensive literature review of documented <jats:italic>B. quintana<\/jats:italic> endocarditis in North America.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,19]],"date-time":"2019-02-19T07:01:46Z","timestamp":1550559706000},"page":"1125-1129","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Case Report: Bartonella quintana Endocarditis Outside of the Europe\u2013African Gradient: Comprehensive Review of Cases within North America"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"John C.","family":"Lam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Infectious Diseases, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada;"},{"name":"Provincial Laboratory for Public Health, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kanti","family":"Pabbaraju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Provincial Laboratory for Public Health, Calgary, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bonnie L.","family":"Meatherall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Canada;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Clin Microbiol","first-page":"1069","article-title":"Detection and identification of Bartonella species pathogenic for humans by PCR amplification targeting the riboflavin synthase gene (ribC)","volume":"41","author":"Johnson","year":"2003"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"PLoS One","first-page":"e9765","article-title":"Multi-locus sequence typing of a geographically and temporally diverse sample of the highly clonal human pathogen Bartonella quintana","volume":"5","author":"Arvand","year":"2010"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Medicine (Baltimore)","first-page":"245","article-title":"Epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae endocarditis: a study of 48 patients","volume":"80","author":"Fournier","year":"2001"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Ann Intern Med","first-page":"646","article-title":"Diagnosis of 22 new cases of Bartonella endocarditis","volume":"125","author":"Raoult","year":"1996"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"Can J Cardiol","first-page":"395.e9","article-title":"Quintessential culture-negative endocarditis","volume":"32","author":"Keynan","year":"2016"},{"key":"b6","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"184","article-title":"Chronic Bartonella quintana bacteremia in homeless patients","volume":"340","author":"Brouqui","year":"1999"},{"key":"b7","series-title":"Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis","first-page":"435","article-title":"Zoonotic and vector-borne infections among urban homeless and marginalized people in the United States and Europe, 1990\u20132014","volume":"16","author":"Leibler","year":"2016"},{"key":"b8","series-title":"J Med Entomol","first-page":"110","article-title":"First molecular evidence of Bartonella quintana in Pediculus humanus capitis (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae), collected from Nepalese children","volume":"43","author":"Sasaki","year":"2006"},{"key":"b9","series-title":"Br Med J","first-page":"337","article-title":"The etiology of disordered action of the heart: a report on 7,803 cases","volume":"2","author":"Venning","year":"1919"},{"key":"b10","series-title":"Lancet Infect Dis","first-page":"e164","article-title":"The centenary of the discovery of trench fever, an emerging infectious disease of World War 1","volume":"16","author":"Anstead","year":"2016"},{"key":"b11","series-title":"J Am Med Assoc","first-page":"1597","article-title":"Report on progress of trench fever investigations","volume":"70","author":"Strong","year":"1918"},{"key":"b12","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"1625","article-title":"Isolation of Rochalimaea species from cutaneous and osseous lesions of bacillary angiomatosis","volume":"327","author":"Koehler","year":"1992"},{"key":"b13","series-title":"N Engl J Med","first-page":"1573","article-title":"The agent of bacillary angiomatosis.
