• Description:
  This study reports on the validation of a real-time polymerase chain reaction test targeting the vomp region of Bartonella quintana. The assay displayed 100% sensitivity and specificity for the 52 bloods and 159 cultures tested. Molecular diagnosis of Bartonella quintana can aid clinical treatment during acute infection.
