Cat-Scratch Disease EID Volume 1 * Number 1 JanuaryMarch 1995 Synopsis. Unraveling Mysteries Associatedwith Cat-Scratch Disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and Related Syndromes. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol1no1/regnery.htm
Extractions: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA Download Article The search for the infectious agents responsible for cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and related syndromes has a long and often circuitous history. Recognition of the etiologic agents and a new understanding of the fundamental features of the epidemiology and natural history of modern day Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea)-associated diseases culminate a multipartite story that combines clinical medicine, traditional microbiology, and novel technological approaches to solve a long-standing enigma. The quest for the etiologic agent of cat-scratch disease (CSD) has frequently been described as a mystery . Indeed, the search has many qualities of a mystery novel; the pursuit has spanned several decades and recently taken several unexpected turns. During this period of important discovery, major microbial suspects have undergone name changes, novel microbial culprits have been introduced, new groups of affected patients have been recognized, and yet significant questions remain to be answered. Scientific and medical interest has been high; approximately 900 publications have dealt with CSD since the first good clinical description of the disease in 1950

Available from: URL: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol9no3/02-0133.htm The potential role of ticks as vectors of Bartonella species has recently been suggested. In this study, we investigated the presence of Bartonella species in 271 ticks removed from humans in Belluno Province, Italy. By using primers derived from the 60-kDa heat shock protein gene sequences, Bartonella DNA was amplified and sequenced from four Ixodes ricinus ticks (1.48%). To confirm this finding, we performed amplification and partial sequencing of the pap31 protein and the cell division protein ftsZ encoding genes. This process allowed us to definitively identify

Extractions: Bacillary angiomatosis is a re-emerging bacterial infection that is identical or closely related to one which commonly afflicted thousands of soldiers during World War I. Today, the disease, caused by two versions of the same bacteria, is linked to homeless AIDS patients and to those afflicted with cat-scratch disease. The infection is rarely seen today in patients who don't have HIV. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an HIV patient diagnosed with bacillary angiomatosis is considered to have progressed to full-blown AIDS. Causes and symptoms

Extractions: The discovery was made by a research team led by Jane Koehler, MD, a microbiologist and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of California-San Francisco, who set out to identify the microbes responsible for a chronic, relapsing infection called bacillary angiomatosis. Although it is curable with common antibiotics, the illness, in addition to making its victims sick and feverish, often goes undiagnosed, Koehler said.

B-Cell Immunodeficiency Profile , bacillary angiomatosis (BA). Bartonella quintana antibodies may be seen inpatients with bacillary angiomatosis and/or parenchymal bacillary peliosis. http://www.aruplab.com/guides/clt/tests/clt_al82.htm
Extractions: The B-Cell Immunodeficiency Profile measures circulating B cells (CD19), their surface immunoglobulins (Total Ig, IgG, IgD, IgM and IgA), and a common HLA class II antigen. The percentage of lymphocytes expressing CD19, various immunoglobulin fractions, and HLA-Dr may be altered in certain immunologic abnormalities. For example, HLA-Dr is absent on B-cells in the bare lymphocyte syndrome (MHC Class II Deficiency). In severe combined immunodeficiency, the percentage of B-cells is increased; while in X-linked agammaglobulinemia, the B-cell percentage is decreased. IgM is expressed early in B-cell ontogeny, whereas, IgD is expressed along with IgM in immunocompetent, mature B-cells.
Cat Scratch Disease R. henselae also causes Bacteremia, bacillary angiomatosis, BacillaryPeliosis Hepatitis, and can invade virtually any organ. R. quintana http://www.ccm.lsuhsc-s.edu/BugBytes/Volume1/bb-v1n3.htm
Extractions: Afipia felis and Rochalimaea enselae, R. henselae is most often etiologic. Most cases of CSD do not require therapy, but in patients with severe local pain or systemic symptoms, antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or erythromycin) may be of value. Because ciprofloxacin and doxycycline should be avoided in childhood, erythromycin, 500 mg BID, is the preferred treatment in children. Three species of Rochalimaea are known to cause disease: R. quintana R. henselae , and R. elizabethae R. henselae also causes Bacteremia, Bacillary Angiomatosis, Bacillary Peliosis Hepatitis, and can invade virtually any organ. R. quintana (the agent of Trench Fever) can cause Bacillary Angiomatosis, and R. elizabethae can cause endocarditis. Bacillary Angiomatosis and Bacillary Peliosis Hepatitis most often occur in patients with AIDS, rarely in the immunocompetent, and should be treated promptly. Both R. henselae and less commonly A. felis can cause Cat Scratch Disease.

Extractions: Clinical Information: This 19-year-old white male with a known seizure disorder presents with a two month history of frontal headaches, dizziness and worsening seizures. School performance has diminished and he has dysarthria, left sided weakness and blurred vision. On physical exam he has left sided paresis, left facial nerve palsy and blurring of the left optic disk. CT+ T1+Gd T1+Gd T1+Gd C+ Head CT and T2(FSE), T1+Gd MRI: Unenhanced CT images (not shown) reveal no evidence for calcification nor hemorrhage. Enhanced CT and MR are shown: there is a large, poorly demarcated lesion centered near the right basal ganglia/thalamus with primary extension into right temporal lobe causing considerable edema, mass effect and midline shift to the left. There is infiltration of the hypothalamus, midbrain and meninges. Deep within its center the lesion shows an unusual, punctate or lacunar enhancement pattern on both CT and MR. E. F. G.
