摘要：
Monoclonal gammopathy has been reported rarely in association with infectious diseases. Viral infection has been the most frequently reported. We report a case of Bartonella quintana endocarditis in a 45-year-old homeless male associated with a monoclonal IgG kappa gammopathy. The gammopathy disappeared after 8 months of antibiotics while the Bartonella antibody titre was decreasing. This correlation suggests a causative role for B. quintana for the monoclonal gammopathy. To the best of our knowledge, this the first report of monoclonal gammopathy in the course of B. quintana infection.
