Abstract: Objetivos: Determinar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas, datos de laboratorio y tratamiento de la Bartonelosis aguda en niños. Materiales y métodos: Se revisaron las historias clínicas de 32 niños con Bartonelosis aguda, internados en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia y en el Instituto Especializado de Salud del Niño entre 1993 y 2003. Resultados: La edad promedio fue 9,8 años, 72% fueron varones, los lugares de exposición probable fueron principalmente las zonas endémicas de los valles interan… Show more

“…Human infection with this pathogenic bacterium has only been reported in the Andean valleys of Peru and regions of Ecuador and Colombia. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The transmission of B. bacilliformis is by a vector insect, the female sandfly of the genus Lutzomyia spp. 8 Carrion's disease has two distinct clinical phases.…”

“…It is during this period of immunosuppression that co-infections with some opportunistic microorganisms have been described. These infections include, S. typhi and non typhi , S. dysenteriae , S. aureus , Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Candida spp., P. vivax , among others [10, 11]. Mycobacterial infections have been described in patients with varying degrees of immunosuppression, especially in developing countries [20].…”

“…The most common co-infections include Salmonella typhi and non-typhi, Shigella dysenteriae , Staphylococcus aureus , Klebsiella spp., toxoplasmosis reactivation, disseminated histoplasmosis, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, leptospirosis, and malaria due to Plasmodium vivax [5, 6]. However, there is no evidence reporting a molecularly diagnosed co-infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis among patients immunosuppressed by the acute phase of Carrion’s disease [10, 11]. …”

“…have been identified as causes of endocarditis, with Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae being the most common 1 . Bartonella bacilliformis, the etiologic agent of Carrion's disease (CD), has also been reported as a cause of endocarditis in a pediatric patient with a history of right ventricular-coronary artery fistula 2 . Infections can trigger vasculitis through various direct (e.g., endothelium infection) or indirect (e.g., molecular mimicry) pathways.…”
