Bartonella Species Bacteremia in Two Patients with Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma
Copyright policy )Bartonella Species Bacteremia in Two Patients with Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma
ABSTRACTBartonella henselaeandB. koehleraebacteremia was documented in two epithelioid hemangioendothelioma patients andB. koehleraebacteremia in an asymptomatic partner of one of the patients. Considering the biology and clinically variable natural history of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, these results suggest that chronicBartonellainfection could have a role in the development of this vascular neoplasm.Bartonellaspp. are known to induce vasoproliferative tumors in immunocompromised patients and may play a role in the development of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma in immunocompetent patients.
