Abstract
Brazilian spotted fever and bartonellosis are zoonotic, emerging and under diagnosed
diseases. Pets may be co-infected by multiple pathogens and become transmissions
sources to humans. The study reports the first case of active co-infection by Brazilian
spotted fever and bartonellosis based on serological evidence. The authors aim to
demonstrate the importance of performing systematic syndromic investigations on
nonspecific febrile syndromes, guided by the epidemiological history and considering
the possibility of co-infection by zoonosis sharing the same ecological niche.
