Bartonella henselae is a gram-negative bacterium that typically exhibits a small, rod-shaped (bacilli) morphology. It is often observed in clusters or as single cells under a microscope. The bacterium is non-motile and can be challenging to culture in laboratory settings due to its fastidious growth requirements. Additionally, it has a unique ability to invade and survive within host cells, particularly endothelial cells.
Sickle cells belong to the poikilocyte category of red blood cell morphology, characterized by abnormal shape or deformity.
Bartonella henselae was first identified in 1992 by Dr. Diane Addiss and colleagues in the context of cat scratch disease.
The bacteria, Bartonella bacilliformis, was isolated by Alberto Barton in 1909, but wasn't identified as the cause of the fever until 1940.
The Bartonella genus includes at least 11 bacteria species, four of which cause human diseases, including cat-scratch disease and bacillary angiomatosis. However, bartonellosis refers exclusively to the disease caused by B. bacilliformis.

Bartonella quintana can cause a disease called trench fever.

Anisopoikilocytosis is a condition where the person has an increased RBC count with abnormal cell morphology
there 4 branches of morphology. they areexternal morphology : It includes study of external features of an individual.anatomy : It is a study of internal structure of an organ or organ system.histology : It deals with the study of tissues & their organization.cytology : It studies the structure & function of a cell.
Cells change (differentiate) substantially in morphology during embryonic and fetal development.
