Abstract

ABSTRACT We report the second human case of infection caused by an organism identified as the proposed Bartonella species, “ B . washoensis .” The organism was isolated from a blood sample from a patient presenting with meningitis and early sepsis. Oropsylla montana fleas were implicated as the vector for disease transmission in this case.
