Skull osteomyelitis as a rare complication of cat scratch disease

Abstract: Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD), is one of the most common causes of regional lymphadenitis in children. Other less common manifestations of B. henselae infection including fever of unknown origin, neuroretinitis, and osteomyelitis are being increasingly recognized. We describe a 3-year-old female with a recent history of typical CSD involving lymph nodes who developed osteomyelitis of the skull, a very rarely recognized complication of this infection.

“…Dona and colleagues 11 in 2018 used the same search terms as Hajjaji et al 8 (“Bartonella,” “bone,” “osteolytic,” “osteomyelitis,” and “cat‐scratch”) and articles indexed in PubMed, Embase, and Google scholar, and identified 51 cases Bartonella osteomyelitis, of which 10 were skull‐based. Of note, Rafee and English 12 also reported a case of Bartonella skull osteomyelitis affecting the left frontal bone in a pediatric patient in 2018. Using the same search terms and same databases used by Dona and colleagues, 11 we found no reported cases of skull‐base osteomyelitis in a pediatric population since 2019.…”
