Bartonella henselae associated with Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome.
Bartonella henselae was recovered from the conjunctival scraping of a 38-year-old woman who presented with a 2-week history of tender preauricular lymphadenopathy and a 1-day history of a red left eye. Dry adherent colonies were observed on agar plates at 21 days of incubation, and the isolate was identified through conventional and molecular tests. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification...
متن کاملBartonella Henselae endocarditis mimicking ANCA associated vasculitis
Bartonella can cause a damaging endocarditis and patients typically need valve replacement. Infective endocarditis (IE) and small vessel vasculitis (SVV) can have similar clinical features and the presence of ANCA can be misleading and it is critical to differentiate between IE and SVV since their treatment are vastly different.
متن کاملBartonella henselae associated uveitis and HLA-B27.
AIM To investigate the frequency of HLA-B27 in patients with presumed Bartonella henselae associated uveitis and to describe the clinical characteristics of HLA-B27 positive patients with uveitis and presumed ocular bartonellosis (POB). METHODS The diagnosis of POB was considered in 19 patients with unexplained uveitis (except for the HLA-B27 association) and high positive IgG (titre >/=1:900...
متن کاملIntraerythrocytic presence of Bartonella henselae.
Recent reports in the medical literature emphasize the risk of zoonotic disease and the high degree of prevalence of asymptomatic feline infection with Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae. While investigating Bartonella bacteremia in cats, we used transmission electron microscopy to demonstrate B. henselae in the erythrocytes of persistently bacteremic cats.
متن کاملPrevalence of Bartonella henselae, Bartonella clarridgeiae and the 16S rRNA gene types of Bartonella henselae among pet cats in Japan.
