A 22-day-old male was admitted with a 2-day history of
                irritability, dyspnea, jaundice, fever, and gastrointestinal
                bleeding. A thin blood smear was performed, which showed the
                presence of intraerythrocyte bacteria identified as Bartonella
                bacilliformis, and subsequently, the child was diagnosed with
                Carrion's disease. The diagnosis was confirmed by specific
                polymerase chain reaction. The child was born in a non-endemic
                B. bacilliformis area and had not traveled to such an area
                before hospitalization. However, the mother was from an endemic
                B. bacilliformis area, and posterior physical examination showed
                the presence of a wart compatible with B. bacilliformis in
                semi-immune subjects. These data support vertical transmission
                of B. bacilliformis.
