Bartonella bacteria are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected animal, such as a cat, dog, or rodent. The bacteria can also be transmitted through contact with contaminated blood or tissue.
Symptoms of Bartonella Infection
The symptoms of Bartonella infection can vary depending on the type of disease. Cat scratch disease typically causes a small, red bump at the site of the bite. The bump may become infected and develop into a pustule. Other symptoms of cat scratch disease can include:
- Fever

Trench fever typically causes a sudden onset of fever, chills, and headache. Other symptoms of trench fever can include:
- Muscle aches
- Joint pain

Carrion's disease is a severe, life-threatening infection that can cause anemia, jaundice, and kidney failure. Carrion's disease is typically found in the Andes Mountains of Peru and Ecuador.
Diagnosis of Bartonella Infection
Bartonella infection is diagnosed based on the patient's symptoms and a physical examination. A blood test can be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment of Bartonella Infection
Bartonella infection is treated with antibiotics. The type of antibiotic used will depend on the type of Bartonella infection. Cat scratch disease is typically treated with a course of antibiotics, such as azithromycin or erythromycin.
Carrion's disease is treated with a combination of antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol and gentamicin. In severe cases, a blood transfusion may be necessary.
Prevention of Bartonella Infection

Here are some tips to help prevent Bartonella infection:
- Avoid contact with cats and other animals that may be infected with Bartonella.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling animals.
