“…Bartonella henselae can thus be confused for lymphoma and vice versa. 1,2 Four of the 8 patients in the study by Eymin et al had mildly elevated LDH (elevated to as high as 365 mg/dL, which was elevated but not as much as in our patient). 3 LDH is present in many different types of cells (not just lymphocytes or leukocytes), including but not limited to muscle cells and liver cells.…”

An 8-year-old previously healthy female presents with a 2-week history of an enlarging tender right-sided neck mass. The swelling was initially pea-sized, but over the 3 to 4 days immediately preceding her admission, the mass was noted to be enlarging. She had been seen 2 days prior to admission by her pediatrician and was prescribed sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, which she had been taking without improvement. In the 24 hours prior to admission she developed fever as high as 104°F, had decreased oral intake, and was complaining of neck pain. The patient had never been hospitalized before, had no known medical problems, and had no history of prior surgeries. Family history was significant for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome in the mother and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia in the father. The patient was in second grade, was very active, and was on the swim team. She had recently had contact with new kittens at her grandmother's home.On initial examination the patient appeared ill but nontoxic. She had a 3-cm firm mobile mass located just beneath the pinna of her right ear with associated swelling, overlying erythema, and mild tenderness with palpation located in the upper anterior cervical chain. There was no fluctuance. She had slightly decreased range of motion of her neck when turning to her right. A <0.5 cm right supraclavicular lymph note was also appreciated. The remainder of the exam was normal.

“…In consideration of the above, examination of many samples using concurrent serological and molecular tests might be crucial to confirm infection with the specific grade of pathogen (for example Ehrlichia or Anaplasma ) 69,92 . Similarly, in the case of serological diagnostic of Bartonella , in patients infected with HIV, the non-specific or false positive results of serological tests are explained by the cross-reaction with the following pathogens: Coxiella burnetti or Chlamydia trachomatis 93,94 .…”

The objective of our study was to estimate the seroprevalence of six pathogens transmitted by ticks in HIV-infected persons and blood donors in Poland (B. burgdorferi s.l., A. phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia spp., Babesia spp., Rickettsia spp. Bartonella henselae) to assess the frequency of exposure to such microorganisms in immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in endemic regions for I. ricinus ticks. Serum samples were collected from 227 HIV-infected patients and 199 blood donors. All samples were analyzed for antibodies against six tick-borne pathogens and seroprevalence rates were statistically compared between two tested group as well as age, sex and lymphocyte T CD4+ level in HIV infected patients. The seroprevalence of tick-borne infections in HIV-infected patients is higher than that of the healthy population in Poland, although no association between serological status of patients and lymphocyte CD4+ T cell level has been observed. The frequency of tick-borne coinfections and doubtful results of serological tests were significantly higher in HIV-positive individuals. In Poland, the possibility of tick-borne diseases transmission with blood is rather negligible.
