Purpose:To present various forms of uveitis and/or retinal vasculitis attributed to Bartonella infection and review the impact of this microorganism in patients with uveitis.Methods:Retrospective case series study. Review of clinical records of patients diagnosed with Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana intraocular inflammation from 2001 to 2010 in the Ocular Inflammation Department of the University Eye Clinic, Ioannina, Greece. Presentation of epidemiological and clinical data concerning Bartonella infection was provided by the international literature.Results:Eight patients with the diagnosis of Bartonella henselae and two patients with B. quintana intraocular inflammation were identified. Since four patients experienced bilateral involvement, the affected eyes totaled 14. The mean age was 36.6 years (range 12–62). Uveitic clinical entities that we found included intermediate uveitis in seven eyes (50%), vitritis in two eyes (14.2%), neuroretinitis in one eye (7.1%), focal retinochoroiditis in one eye (7.1%), branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) due to vasculitis in one eye (7.1%), disc edema with peripapillary serous retinal detachment in one eye (7.1%), and iridocyclitis in one eye (7.1%). Most of the patients (70%) did not experience systemic symptoms preceding the intraocular inflammation. Antimicrobial treatment was efficient in all cases with the exception of the case with neuroretinitis complicated by anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and tubulointerstitial nephritis.Conclusion:Intraocular involvement caused not only by B. henselae but also by B. quintana is being diagnosed with increasing frequency. A high index of suspicion is needed because the spectrum of Bartonella intraocular inflammation is very large. In our study the most common clinical entity was intermediate uveitis.

“…8 It has been reported that cat scratch disease caused a macular hole in a 10-year-old girl 12 days after the diagnosis of neuroretinitis with posterior vitreous detachment and in an 11-year-old boy 7 months after the diagnosis of cat scratch disease. 9 Repeat optical coherence tomography in our patient at 29 days follow-up showed no evidence of a macular hole. B. henselae causes a self-limited infection and most patients recover without treatment.…”

“…Albini et al (1) noted vitritis, anterior uveitis, keratic precipitates, serous retinal detachment, and deep white patchy chorioretinal lesions in a 10-year-old girl with Bartonella neuroretinitis who later developed a full-thickness macular hole. Donnio et al (2) reported a case of treated B. henselae neuroretinitis in an 11-year-old boy with the formation of a macular hole 7 months after the infection. Other reported inflammatory causes of macular holes include idiopathic posterior uveitis, presumed ocular histoplasmosis, fungal endophthalmitis, intraocular nasal T/NK lymphoma, immune recovery uveitis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis after cataract extraction (1).…”

A 37-year-old woman presented with an anterior optic neuropathy related to Bartonella henselae. Twenty-nine days after symptom onset, a partial thickness macular hole developed in the involved eye. Fundus photography and optical coherence tomography confirmed the conversion to a full-thickness macular hole in 2 months. Macular hole as a complication of cat scratch disease is a rare entity, with 2 prior reported cases in children. The development of a macular hole following cat scratch disease can appear without the clinical picture of multiple white chorioretinal lesions, macular star, or vitritis.
