Infección por Bartonella henselae: utilidad de las imágenes en el diagnóstico y seguimiento

Abstract: Bartonella henselae infection is a frequent zoonosis from the domestic cat. It is presented with regional lymphadenitis in the majority of cases. Searching and characterization of lymph nodes by diagnostic imaging can be useful in the differential diagnosis approach, with a clear advantage, because it is a noninvasive method. Currently, new diagnostic imaging techniques improves the quality of screening and characterization of adenopathies, such is the case of PET/CT, which allows a better evaluation of hyperm… Show more

“…For B. quintana, a pathogen of human reservoir, these conditions may be a proxy of debilitated patients living in urban trench conditions 3 . IFA does not discriminate between B. henselae and B. quintana infection, but high titers, as in our patients, are only associated with IE, and rarely to disseminated disease 4,20 .…”

“…Los gatos infectados son solo portadores ya que no presentan ningún tipo de sintomatología. 2,4,5,6,7,8,17 Las garrapatas o pulgas pueden también estar implicadas en la transmisión de esta enfermedad. incluso se ha relacionado la antropozoonosis de Bartonella Henselae con las heces fecales de las pulgas o de igual forma el contacto con otros animales como perros o conejos, aunque con menos frecuencia.…”

“…Otro estudio complementario es la TC que es útil en el análisis de adenopatías más internas y de difícil visualización. 8,15 Finalmente, los estudios de laboratorio parecen no presentar relevancia, ya que los valores suelen ser normales sin presencia de leucocitosis. 9…”
