Oct BARTONELLA WEBINARS: Discussing Biology of Bartonella, Human Case Series Published in J EID (May 2012) and Long Term Clincial Experience In May 2012, a team of veterinary and human medical scientists published in the CDC's Journal , Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID May 2012), the largest ever case series of Bartonella spp. bacteremic patients in the human medical literature. These patients were examined and selected for testing by a single rheumatologist (Dr. Robert Mozayeni) due to concerns about Lyme disease, however, distinct clinical features associated with Bartonella were observed. Bartonella appears to be an important co-infection of in humans with Borreliosis, however, Bartonella sp. can be transmitted by a broad range of vectors that harbor these bacteria. In addition, a broad range of animal hosts serve as persistently infected reservoirs for human infection. Awareness is emerging regarding Bartonella infections in domestic and wild animals and humans. Importantly, bartonellosis appears to share a high degree of overlap with the clinical manifestations of Lyme disease. Beginning in September 2013, Ed Breitschwerdt, DVM, Professor of Veterinary Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases at North Carolina State University, and B. Robert Mozayeni, MD, founder of the Translational Medicine Group, P.C., Rockville, MD will present a two-part webinar series for health professionals (CME's are being applied for, awaiting approval) regarding the biology, diagnosis and treatment of bartonellosis. These two hour sessions will be offered at Introductory and Advanced Levels. There will also be a webinar regarding Bartonella sp. and bartonellosis for the general public to be held in October. The webinar series will be sponsored by the Center for Translational Medicine, a 501c(3) research and educational organization co-founded by Dr. Mozayeni. Dr. Breitschwerdt is a co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Galaxy Diagnostics, LLC. and Dr. Mozayeni is the Chief Medical Officer of Galaxy Diagnostics, LLC.
