A 1-year-old, castrated male mixed-breed dog presented with diffuse, purple lesions arranged in an irregular patchy pattern, a slight elevation on the right hindlimb extending from tarsus joint to upper region of thigh. Dermatological examinations and fungal bacterial cultures revealed no infectious agents. The therapeutic response antibiotics antifungal agents was negative. histopathology exam...

Multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis with thrombocytopenia (MLT)/cutaneovisceral angiomatosis thrombocytopenia, first reported as a new nosological entity in 2004, is an extremely rare vascular pathology of the neonatal period without hereditary nature. This disease has poor prognosis. According to previously published data, this characterized by involvement skin and internal organs pathologi...

Bartonella quintana and Bartonella henselae are fastidious gram-negative bacteria responsible for bacillary angiomatosis, trench fever, cat scratch disease, and endocarditis. During a 5-year period, we received 2,043 samples for culture of Bartonella sp. We found Bartonella sp. to be the etiologic agent in 38 cases of endocarditis, 78 cases of cat scratch disease, 16 cases of bacteremia in home...

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...
