A 13-y-old, spayed female dog had regenerative anemia, lymphopenia, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated hepatic biochemical parameters. Liver biopsy revealed hepatic peliosis (hepatic sinusoidal angiectasis), frequently associated with perisinusoidal fibrosis. The dog was seroreactive to antigens by indirect fluorescent antibody assays, and quantitative PCR from blood identified subsp.

- Bartonella species are intracellular bacteria linked to various human diseases, often transmitted through infected bodily fluids or vectors, but infections have been reported without clear contact to animals or insects.
- These bacteria are associated with neurological conditions, including neuroretinitis and encephalitis, primarily linked to species like Bartonella henselae and B. quintana, and can also cause peripheral neuropathies.
- Recent studies have detected Bartonella DNA more frequently in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, suggesting a potential connection between these infections and conditions such as schizophrenia and psychoses.
Introduction: The potential role of pathogens, particularly vector-transmitted infectious agents, as a cause of psychosis has not been intensively investigated. We have reported a potential link between spp. bacteremia and neuropsychiatric symptoms, including pediatric acute onset neuropsychiatric syndrome and schizophrenia.
