Unraveling mysteries associated with cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and related syndromes.
The search for the infectious agents responsible for cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and related syndromes has a long and often circuitous history. Recognition of the etiologic agents and a new understanding of the fundamental features of the epidemiology and natural history of modern day Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea)-associated diseases culminate a multipartite story that comb...
متن کاملCat-scratch disease and bacillary angiomatosis.
Cat-scratch disease (CSD) was first described by Debré in 1950, yet the causative bacterial agent of CSD remained obscure until 1992, when Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea) henselae was implicated in CSD by serological and microbiological studies. B. henselae had initially been linked to bacillary angiomatosis (BA), a vascular proliferative disease most commonly associated with long-standing hu...

DR J. SHAUN MURPHY: A 30-year-old woman was found to have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at age 22 (1989). She also had a history of moderate asthma. She had been in her usual health until 2 months before hospitalization when nonbloody diarrhea appeared. A month later, she noted a small, yellow mass arising from her umbilicus (Figure 1). Seven days before the patient's admission to the hosp...
متن کاملCat-scratch disease-associated arthropathy.
OBJECTIVE To characterize the articular manifestations of cat-scratch disease (CSD) and to evaluate the long-term clinical outcome of those manifestations. METHODS A community- and hospital-based surveillance study of CSD was conducted in Israel between 1991 and 2002. CSD was defined as present in a patient when a compatible clinical syndrome and a positive confirmatory finding of Bartonella ...
متن کاملAcute hemiplegia associated with cat-scratch disease.
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious illness caused by a Gram-negative rod named Bartonella henselae. Typical CSD is characterized by a small skin lesion at the site of a scratch or a bite, followed by regional lymphadenopathy, one to two weeks later. Atypical forms may present as ocular manifestations, neurological manifestations, hepatosplenic involvement and vertebral osteomyelitis. Am...
