“…Cat-scratch disease may affect almost all organs with a broad range of clinical features and radiological manifestations. The most common clinical features of typical CSD are lymphadenopathy accompanied by constitutional symptoms such as fever, headache, malaise, and nausea ( 11 ). In rare cases of atypical CSD, patients may present with atypical clinical manifestations, such as osteomyelitis, discitis, endocarditis, hepatosplenopathy, optic neuritis, and encephalitis ( 12 ).…”

ObjectivesCat-scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious disease caused by Bartonella henselae. The most typical symptom of patients with CSD is regional lymphadenopathy, while central nervous system lesions related to CSD are rare. Here, we present a case of an aged woman with CSD involving the dura mater with a manifestation similar to that of an atypical meningioma.MethodsThe patient was followed up by our neurosurgery and radiology teams. Clinical information was recorded, and the pre- and post-operation CT results and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes were collected. The paraffin-embedded tissue was sampled for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.ResultsIn this study, we present the details of a 54 year-old Chinese woman admitted to our hospital with a paroxysmal headache for 2 years that had worsened in the past 3 months. Brain CT and MRI showed a meningioma-like lesion below the occipital plate. En bloc resection of the sinus junction area was performed. A pathological examination showed granulation tissue and fibrosis with acute and chronic inflammation, granuloma, and central stellate microabscess, which was suspected as the cat-scratch disease. The paraffin-embedded tissue was sampled for a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to amplify the corresponding pathogen gene sequence, which was Bartonella henselae.ConclusionThe case in our study underscores the fact that the incubation period of CSD may be very long. On the contrary, CSD can involve the meninges, resulting in tumor-like lesions.

Background Cat-scratch disease usually manifests with uveitis, vitritis, retinitis, retinochoroiditis and optic neuritis, yet, with fundus nodular lesions rarely reported. In our study, we report a case of Cat-Scratch disease with binocular fundus nodular lesions. Case presentation An 11-year old male presented with uveitis (right eye) and binocular fundus nodular lesions after indirect contact with unvaccinated cats. Ancillary examinations (Wide-angle fundus photography, Ultrasonography, Fluorescein fundus angiography, Optical coherence tomography and Orbital Magnetic Resonance Imaging) were conducted to describe the multidimensional features of the binocular lesions. Metagenomics next-generation sequencing confirmed the diagnosis of Cat-scratch disease. The patient’s condition improved after 6-month combination treatment of systemical doxycycline hyclat and methylprednisolone tablets plus local mydriatic and corticosteroid eye drops. Conclusions We firstly reported a case simultaneously combined with uveitis and binocular fundus nodular lesions secondary to infection of Bartonella henselae in a child. Timely diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics and corticosteroids could improve the prognosis of these disorders.

“…Visceral involvement has also been described, mainly hepatosplenomegaly with or without lymphadenopathy, as well as fever of unknown origin in children and occasionally meningoencephalitis, endocarditis and ocular involvement [ 10 ]. In immuno-suppressed patients, B. henselae can cause bacillary angiomatosis, in which multisystem involvement can occur, especially skin, bone, liver and spleen [ 11 , 12 ].…”
