Pitfalls and fallacies of cat scratch disease serology: evaluation of Bartonella henselae-based indirect fluorescence assay and enzyme-linked immunoassay.
The diagnostic value of the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM by Bartonella henselae-based indirect fluorescence assay (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) for the diagnosis of cat scratch disease (CSD) was evaluated. The IFA was performed either with B. henselae that was cocultivated for a few hours with Vero cells or with noncocultivated B. henselae as the antigen. Additionally...
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...
