Snippet: As recently reviewed, there is no 'gold standard' test for the diagnosis of bartonellosis in cats, dogs, horses or humans. 29 A study involving canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) diagnosis provided support for obtaining serological, microbiological culture and PCR data when attempting to confirm a CVBD diagnosis. 30 With the advent of PCR testing, some clinicians have abandoned serology in favor of vector-borne disease molecular diagnostic pane.....
Document: As recently reviewed, there is no 'gold standard' test for the diagnosis of bartonellosis in cats, dogs, horses or humans. 29 A study involving canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) diagnosis provided support for obtaining serological, microbiological culture and PCR data when attempting to confirm a CVBD diagnosis. 30 With the advent of PCR testing, some clinicians have abandoned serology in favor of vector-borne disease molecular diagnostic panels. As PCR testing has substantial sensitivity limitations (ie, false-negative test results), 30 both modalities are recommended for diagnosis of feline vector-borne diseases, including bartonellosis.
