Cat scratch disease due to Bartonella henselae serotype Marseille (Swiss cat) in a seronegative patient.
Bartonella henselae has been reported to cause various clinical syndromes, including meningoencephalitis (9), endocarditis (6), bacillary angiomatosis (4, 5, 8), visceral peliosis (5), and cat scratch disease (CSD) (7). However, because of the fastidious nature of the bacterium, few clinical strains have being isolated, especially from patients with CSD. So, the diagnosis of B. henselae infecti...
متن کاملCat scratch disease and other Bartonella infections.
First described in 1931, cat scratch disease remains the most commonly identified clinical syndrome associated with Bartonella infection. Over the last 20 years, however, the discovery and use of modern diagnostic tests has greatly expanded our understanding of the pathogenesis, clinical spectrum, and treatment options for Bartonella infections of all types. Indeed, each varies substantially de...
متن کاملSeronegative cat-scratch disease diagnosed by PCR detection of Bartonella henselae DNA in lymph node samples.
Cat scratch disease (CSD), the typical clinical manifestation of Bartonella infections usually follows a typical benign self-limited course. Nevertheless, a variety of unusual clinical manifestations and confusing imaging features can lead to misinterpretations and render the disease a diagnostic dispute. Routine laboratory tests exhibit varying reported sensitivity and are usually unhelpful in...
متن کاملMOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF Bartonella henselae IN A SERONEGATIVE CAT SCRATCH DISEASE PATIENT WITH AIDS IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
Bartonella henselae is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, including cat scratch disease, endocarditis and meningoencephalitis, in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. We report the first molecularly confirmed case of B. henselae infection in an AIDS patient in state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although DNA sequence of B. henselae has been detected by polymeras...
متن کاملGenomic 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...
