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 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 کاملFrom Cat scratch disease to Bartonella henselae infection.
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a relatively common disease mainly caused by Bar-tonella henselae. In this issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases, Maman et al. [1] report on musculoskeletal manifestations of CSD, extending the spectrum of clinical manifestations of B. henselae infection by including chronic arthritis, as well as emphasizing the prevalence of arthralgias. As a matter of fact, CSD is...
متن کاملBeyond cat scratch disease: widening spectrum of Bartonella henselae infection.
Bartonella henselae was discovered a quarter of a century ago as the causative agent of cat scratch disease, a clinical entity described in the literature for more than half a century. As diagnostic techniques improve, our knowledge of the spectrum of clinical disease resulting from infection with Bartonella is expanding. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the microbiology, clin...
