 AB    Bartonella henselae was isolated from the blood of five febrile
       immunosuppressed patients using BacT/Alert (Organon Teknika, Durham, NC)
       automated microbial detection system. An immunofluorescence assay (using
       1:1000 dilutions) was used to confirm identification of fastidious,
       pleomorphic, non-Gram staining, argyrophilic bacilli displaying rachety
       motility that had been presumptively identified as Bartonella spp. The
       practicality of identification of Bartonella henselae using goat
       antisera for use in a routine clinical microbiology laboratory was
       demonstrated by this study.
