“…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. 4 Nononcologic conditions can thus cause elevated LDH as well.…”

“…6 The most common symptoms of cat-scratch disease are fever and local lymphadenopathy, though these symptoms do not have to necessarily be present. 3,6 In a case study of 8 patients serologically diagnosed with cat-scratch disease by Eymin et al, 7 of the 8 patients presented with fever and 7 of the 8 patients presented with tender lymphadenopathy. 3 Other conditions, such as lymphoma, can also present in this fashion.…”

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.

“…Sin embargo, el paciente no presentaba lesiones en la piel sugerentes de eccema seborreico ni úlceras granulomatosas en las mucosas. Su crecimiento pondoestatural era adecuado, no tenía antecedentes de compromiso pulmonar, intracraneal En los casos de EAG con compromiso sistémico, la serología para B. henselae IgG ha mostrado títulos mayores a 1:256 en la mayoría de las series publicadas 17 . La baja titulación observada en este paciente podría representar una infección antigua, con un tiempo de evolución mayor que el referido al momento de la consulta.…”

“…La baja titulación observada en este paciente podría representar una infección antigua, con un tiempo de evolución mayor que el referido al momento de la consulta. Se considera además que títulos entre 1:64 y 1:256 podrían estar presentes en el comienzo o al final de la enfermedad y en 4-6% de las personas sanas 17 . No obstante, un factor importante a considerar en los puntos de corte utilizados es la seroprevalencia en la población de sujetos asintomáticos.…”

The cat scratch disease is a relatively rare disease caused by Bartonella henselae. Only a small proportion of the cases that described extranodal involvement occurs. We report a 11 year old male patient with persistent fever, liver and osteoarticular involvement with a predominance of dorsolumbar spine. Evolution was satisfactory with complete clinical and imaging evidenced recovery in several months of monitoring. Case was analyzed considering EAG published literature, emphasizing the need to include this condition in the differential diagnoses in patients with bone involvement suggestive of systemic disease.

“…Estudios efectuados en médicos veterinarios en Austria y Japón y en propietarios de gatos en Alemania muestran prevalencias de 51, 15 y 79%; respectivamente [9][10][11] . Hasta la fecha, en nuestro medio se han publicado varios casos o series clínicas de infecciones por B. henselae [12][13][14][15][16][17] , incluyendo un estudio en propietarios de felinos 18 , otro en niños y en una población de riesgo ocupacional 19 . En estos últimos, se ha reportado una prevalencia de 18% en propietarios de gatos; 13,3% en niños y de 10,3% en adultos con riesgo ocupacional de las ciudades de Santiago y Valdivia 18,19 .…”

Seroprevalence of Bartonella henselae in occupational risk personsIntroduction: Bartonella henselae infection is a worldwide zoonosis with the domestic cat as reservoir. Although people with occupational contact with these pets are risk population only few studies of prevalence in them have been reported. Methods: A study of seroprevalence of B. henselae was performed to veterinaries and other persons with occupational contact with cats, residents from the Bío-Bío region of Chile. Serum IgG antibodies against B. henselae were determined by indirect immunofluorescence (IFI). Demographic data and history of cat bites or scratches were recorded. Results: There were 76 persons included in the study, 18 to 69 years old. A 93.4% had a history of cat scratch or bite. A seroprevalence of 60.5% were found. No differences were found between gender, age, or history of cat scratch or bite. Conclusions: A high seroprevalence in people from this region with occupational risk were found. No subgroups with higher risk factors than others were identified.
