Bartonella endocarditis can be an elusive diagnosis. The clinical manifestations can vary and, at times, include multiorgan involvement. This case report describes 2 patients who presented with multiorgan failure, cerebral mycotic aneurysms, and valvular endocarditis secondary to Bartonella infection. The complex diagnosis, decision making, and surgical management are described.
