Hepatosplenic Cat Scratch Disease in Immunocompetent Adults

Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is the most frequent presentation of Bartonella henselae infection. It has a worldwide distribution and is associated with a previous history of scratch or bite from a cat or dog. CSD affects children and teenagers more often (80%) than adults, and it usually has a self-limiting clinical course. Atypical clinical course or systemic symptoms are described in 5%–20% of patients. Among them, hepatosplenic (HS) forms (abscess) have been described. The majority of published cases have affected children or immunosuppressed patients. Few cases of HS forms of CSD in immunocompetent adult hosts have been reported, and data about the management of this condition are scarce. Herein, we present 3 new cases of HS forms of CSD in immunocompetent adults and review 33 other cases retrieved from the literature. We propose an approach to clinical diagnosis and treatment with oral azithromycin.

“…On the other hand in immunocompromised subjects, B. henselae infection is associated with angiogenesis, in which a neutrophilic inflammatory response to bacilli located within the skin, bone and other organs (bacillary angiomatosis) or the liver and spleen (peliosis) is seen (Zenone, 2011). Visceral CSD occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients (Liston & Koehler, 1996), although the literature shows that a significant number of immunocompetent patients do suffer from disseminated CSD (Renou et al , 2010; Family-Pigné et al , 2006), which is transmitted by different mechanisms (Bass et al , 1997; McGill et al , 2003). In visceral CSD, preliminary diagnosis by radiology assessment must be confirmed by serology and molecular methods.…”

Diagnosis and follow-up of Bartonella henselae infection in the spleen of an immunocompetent patient by real-time quantitative PCR

Systemic Bartonella henselae infections are unusual in immunocompetent adults. However, here we report one such case of bartonellosis in a 34-year-old patient, who presented with fever and multinodular splenomegaly. We also describe a novel method of identifying Bartonella henselae by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and sequencing of amplified products. This could prevent splenic bartonellosis being mistaken for lymphoma and thereby avert unnecessary splenectomy.
