Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt on Bartonellosis - NorVect 2014

The full presentation is well worth watching with fascinating insights and research that is being done on Bartonella an infection known about for 100 years but very difficult to culture and test for, commonly referred to as cat scratch disease and considered a mild and self limiting disease, Dr Breitschwerdt is finding that is not always the case.
