Genomic variation of Bartonella henselae strains detected in lymph nodes of patients with cat scratch disease.
Bartonella henselae is the primary agent of cat scratch disease (CSD). In order to study the genetic variation of B. henselae and the correlation of the various genotypes with epidemiological and clinical findings, two seminested, groEL- and pap31-based PCR assays were carried out with specimens from 273 patients. Amplicons were sequenced to determine the genotype of the causative Bartonella sp...
متن کامل[A case of cat-scratch disease].
Cat scratch disease (CSD) which is usually seen in children and young adults and characterized by self limited lymphadenopathy, is caused by Bartonella henselae. In this report, a 30-year-old male patient who was admitted to the outpatient clinic with the complaint of lymphadenopathy, was presented. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein values of the patient were normal, and ant...
متن کاملCat scratch disease: a case report.
Cat-scratch disease is the most common cause of benign lymphadenopathy in children and young adults. A 21-year-old patient presented with a 14-day history of asymptomatic left submental swelling. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed no dental cause. An enlarged, firm nodule was excised. The histopathologic appearance was consistent with cat-scratch disease. This article summarizes the...
متن کاملCat Scratch Disease (with a Case Report)
An initial local lesion in the skin together with a regional lymphadenitis, sometimes with formation of sterile pus following a scratch or bite by a cat is now being described as a separate disease entity. Originally recognised by Fosllay and Debre (Editorial, 1952) independently, a large number of cases has now been reported, mainly from France and U.S.A. and occasionally from other European c...
متن کاملLymph Node Biopsy Specimens and Diagnosis of Cat-scratch Disease
We report microbiologic analysis of 786 lymph node biopsy specimens from patients with suspected cat-scratch disease (CSD). The specimens were examined by standard, cell culture, and molecular methods. Infectious agents were found in samples from 391 (49.7%) of 786 patients. The most commonly identified infectious agent was Bartonella henselae (245 patients, 31.2%), the agent of CSD. Mycobacter...
