We present a case report of an unusual CSD presentation, persistent hepatic granulomatous disease due to Bartonella henselae infection despite combination therapy with doxycycline and rifampicin. Furthermore, a review of literature was conducted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Splenectomy

  This could prevent splenic bartonellosis being mistaken for lymphoma and thereby avert unnecessary splenectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Goiter

  We describe an 11-year-old boy who presented with goiter and weight loss. At the time of admission a 2 × 1 cm mildly tender right supraclavicular lymph node was noted in association with an erythematous papule at the same side of the neck. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Inguinal Mass

  Inguinal localization is rarely described. We report a case of a 35-year-old Caucasian male complaining of a painless right inguinal mass and slight fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Exertional Dyspnea

  A 65-year-old Japanese man was admitted with a 4-month history of fatigue and exertional dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a vegetation on the aortic valve and severe aortic regurgitation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Central Scotoma

  This case report describes Bartonella henselae neuroretinitis in a 26-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with unilateral central scotoma and no prodromal symptoms, a unique presentation of this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Scotoma

  This case report describes Bartonella henselae neuroretinitis in a 26-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with unilateral central scotoma and no prodromal symptoms, a unique presentation of this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Neck Swelling

  In this article, the authors report the case of a 7-year-old boy who presented with neck swelling and was found to have a C2-4 paravertebral B. henselae abscess with osteomyelitis of C-3 and epidural extension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Polyradiculoneuropathy

  Over the ensuing months, the youngest son was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre (GBS) syndrome followed by Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Central Scotoma

  This case report describes Bartonella henselae neuroretinitis in a 26-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with unilateral central scotoma and no prodromal symptoms, a unique presentation of this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Liver Biopsy

  Early recognition of HLH and B. henselae through liver biopsy and serological tests led to the patient's recovery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This case shows B. henselae infection persistence even after prolonged antibiotic treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These mechanisms suggest a novel link between communicable and non-communicable human diseases, and put forward the possibility that Bartonella henselae could enhance the susceptibility and worsen the prognosis in cardiovascular disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstracts: Thirty-Fifth Annual CTRC‐AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium‐‐ Dec 4‐8, 2012; San Antonio, TX Abstract Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a very aggressive type of advanced breast cancer with a poor prognosis. [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]

Serologic studies and polymerase chain reaction testing of resected homograft valvular tissue provided evidence of Bartonella henselae as the etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A species of gram-negative bacteria that is the etiologic agent of bacillary angiomatosis (ANGIOMATOSIS, BACILLARY). This organism can also be a cause of CAT-SCRATCH DISEASE in immunocompetent patients. [connects.catalyst.harvard.edu]

Moreover, we used PCR and sequencing of the 16S–23S intergenic spacer (ITS) region to identify the etiological agent as Bartonella henselae. [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]

Consideration is also given to epidemiological aspects in human and animal infections, with special emphasis on the application of new molecular methods for the characterization of isolates. [amazon.fr]

The epidemiology of febrile illnesses in Namibia needs further evaluation in order to develop comprehensive local diagnostic and treatment algorithms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This could prevent splenic bartonellosis being mistaken for lymphoma and thereby avert unnecessary splenectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
