Prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by Bartonella quintana
Emerg Infect Dis.

Abstract
We describe the first case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis affecting a prosthetic valve in a person with no known risk factors for this infection. Bartonella should be considered as a cause of endocarditis in any clinical setting.
