| Abstract | Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a self limited condition characterized by fever, lymph node enlargement and less often
eye involvement. Central nervous system involvement by Bartonella henselae infection is possibly an important
cause of morbidity; its role as an agent of aseptic meningitis is unknown. We report a case of a 40 years-old man with
CSD accompanied by aseptic meningitis and neuroretinitis. Serum indirect immmunofluorescence (IFI) assays for
B. henselae were positive and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed mononuclear pleocytosis and increased
level of protein. Serological tests for other etiologies were negative. The patient responded well to antibiotic
therapy with oral doxycicline plus rifampin and in the 12th day of hospitalization evolved to total regression of the
headache and partial regression of the visual loss. Clinicians should consider CSD as a differential diagnosis when
assessing previously healthy patients with aseptic meningitis associated with regional lymphadenopathy and
epidemiological history of feline contact. | pt_BR |
