Article Synopsis
- Gram-negative coccobacilli are important pathogens that can lead to zoonotic infections in humans, especially causing infective endocarditis, which can be hard to diagnose.
- A 23-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with lymphoma was actually suffering from blood culture-negative endocarditis linked to these bacteria, showing symptoms like fevers, pancytopenia, and heart issues despite negative blood tests.
- The case emphasizes the need for careful consideration of these pathogens in patients with suspected endocarditis and highlights the importance of serological testing and a comprehensive treatment strategy for better patient outcomes.

Systemic infection, also known as cat-scratch disease (CSD), presents a diagnostic challenge due to the variability of clinical manifestations and the potential for serological cross-reactivity with other organisms. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and imaging characteristics of pediatric patients diagnosed with systemic infection, to improve understanding and facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment. We conducted a 10-year retrospective study at the "Louis Turcanu" Children's Emergency Hospital and private clinics in Timisoara, Romania, reviewing records for confirmed cases of infection from January 2014 to January 2024.

Article Synopsis
- Bartonelloses are diseases caused by Bartonella bacteria, transmitted to humans through blood-sucking insects, leading to conditions like bacillary angiomatosis and cat scratch disease.
- A review of cases involving bartonelloses and blood cancers in HIV-negative patients identified 15 relevant cases, highlighting various symptoms such as chronic fever and lymphadenopathy.
- Most patients responded well to antibiotic treatment, but clinicians need to be vigilant for Bartonella infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
