  • Title: Acute endogenous endophthalmitis due to Bartonella henselae.
    Author: Goldstein DA, Mouritsen L, Friedlander S, Tessler HH, Edward DP.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2001 Sep 01; 33(5):718-21. PubMed ID: 11486295.
    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old man presented with progressively worsening vitreitis of 1 week's duration. Treatment for cat-scratch disease 3 years prior to presentation and persistent vitreitis led to vitrectomy, and analysis of the vitrectomy specimen revealed inflammatory cells and necrotic debris; polymerase-chain-reaction analysis of the vitreous fluid sample, done by use of a novel heminested protocol, demonstrated the presence of Bartonella henselae DNA. Treatment with doxycycline led to improvement in the intraocular inflammation but resulted in a poor visual outcome.
