Abstract. Bartonella henselae is the bacterial agent responsible for cat scratch
disease. This infection is frequently the cause of localized lymphadenitis in
children. It is also sometimes responsible for endocarditis, encephalitis, hepatic
peliosis and in rare cases osteomyelitis. We describe the second known case of unifocal thoracic osteomyelitis in a
10-year-old child.
