Bartonella species were virtually unrecognized as modern pathogens of
humans until the last decade. However, identification of Bartonella
species as the agents of cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis,
urban trench fever, and possible novel presentations of Carrion's
disease has left little doubt of the emerging medical importance of
this genus of organisms. The three primary human pathogenic
bartonellae, Bartonella bacilliformis (Carrion's disease), B. henselae
(cat-scratch disease), and B. quintana (trench fever), present
noteworthy comparisons in the epidemiology, natural history, pathology,
and host-microbe interaction that this review will briefly explore.
