  • Title: [Bartonella henselae as the causative agent in cat-scratch disease: case report].
    Author: Dzelalija B, Avsic-Zupanc T.
    Journal: Lijec Vjesn; 2001; 123(1-2):14-5. PubMed ID: 11379192.
    Abstract:
    In this article we reported typical clinical, primary skin lesion and regional lymphadenitis, and atypical, protracted fever and algic syndrome, characteristics of cat scratch disease (CSD) in a 21-year-old man (a student) from Zadar, Croatia. Laboratory parameters were in normal range. The histopathologic findings of affected lymph nodes included stellate caseating granulomas. By using IFA method a seroconversion of specific IgG antibodies (neg/1:512) and rise of IgM antibodies (1:160/ > 1:320) to B. henselae were detected in paired sera, and these serologic findings indicate on conclusion that B. henselae is probably etiologic agent of CSD in our patient.
