Diagnosis and interpretation of testing for cat scratch disease
We describe a case of a 44-year-old woman with six cats who presented with a painful left inguinal mass, had splenic lesions on imaging, and had positive serology but a negative polymerase chain reaction test for B. henselae.PMID:34970038 | PMC:PMC8682836 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2021.1984791 (Source: Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings)

Multimodal imaging of two unconventional cases of bartonella neuroretinitis
Conclusion:
Our cases highlight the necessity of recognizing more unusual posterior segment presentations of ocular bartonellosis. Multimodal retinal imaging including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography may help better characterize lesions. (Source: Retinal Cases and Brief Reports)

Detection of antibodies against three zoonotic Bartonella spp. and cross-reactivity among species and Coxiella burnetii in dogs and cats from Central Thailand
The objectives of this study were to detect the seroprevalence of three zoonotic species of Bartonella and to evaluate cross-reactivity among Bartonella spp. and with C. burnetii. In total, 570 dog and cat serum samples were detected for antibodies against Bartonella spp. and C. burnetii using an indirect immunofluorescence antibody (IFA) test. At titer ≥ 1:64, tested serum that had a fluorescent intensity score ≥ 2 was interpreted as positive. Additionally, possible factors related to the seroprevalence were analyzed consisting of sex, breed, age, residing area, and ectoparasite control. Overall, the seroprevalence le...
