Abstract:
In the last years the number of Bartonella species has conspicuously increased, with better clinical and diagnostic definitions of the different related illnesses. We report, in the present article, 3 cases of cat-scratch disease, a particular bartonellosis mainly caused by Bartonella henselae which is transmitted by the cat. After an incubation period, cat-scratch disease clinically manifests as a regional lymphoadenitis, with the appearance of a small cutaneous lesion at the site of inoculation of the germ. The pathogenetic agent is susceptible to a number of antibacterial agents, such as penicillin, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, macrolides, quinolones, trimethoprim combined with sulphamethoxazole and rifampicin. The prognosis is usually favorable.
