Abstract

Among patients with pathologically proven infective endocarditis, the association of pathogen with occurrence of infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) was examined in 48 case patients with IRGN and 192 propensity score-matched controls. Bartonella was very strongly associated with IRGN (odds ratio, 38.2 [95% confidence interval, 6.7-718.8]; P < .001); other microorganisms were not.
