Blood Culture–Negative Endocarditis, Morocco
We investigated the microorganisms causing blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE) in Morocco. We tested 19 patients with BCNE by serologic methods, molecular methods, or both and identified Bartonella quintana, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus equi, and Streptococcus oralis in 4 patients. These results highlight the role of these zoonotic agents in BCNE in Morocco.

A single serum is sufficient, as endocarditis is a chronic disease associated with high level IgG antibodies. Q ...
