The lymphadenitis associated with cat-scratch disease (CSD) is often confused with neoplasms by a number of radiologists and clinicians, and consequently, unnecessary invasive procedures or surgeries are performed. In the present study, the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic
OBJECTIVE
We describe two cases of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) as the presenting sign of cat-scratch disease.
METHODS
Case 1 (25-year-old man) presented with decreased vision, visual field changes, a swollen disk, and BRAO. Case 2 (27-year-old woman) presented with decreased vision
We report a case of cat-scratch disease neuroretinitis. A 26-year-old man was referred for severe right visual loss. Posterior segment examination showed a papilledema with macular edema. Bartonella henselae immunoglobulin G testing was positive. Four weeks of antibiotic therapy combining oral
We report a case of cat-scratch disease neuroretinitis for which systemic and ocular investigations proved the responsibility of Bartonella henselae. An 11-year-old boy was referred to the hospital in November 2002 for severe visual loss in the left eye over the preceding 2 weeks. At the same time,
OBJECTIVE
To present two cases of neuroretinitis in cat scratch disease We present two girls treated in Department of Ophthalmology of Poznai University of Medical Sciences because of unilateral, painless decrease of vision. Both patients presented following cat exposure fever and lymph nodes
This case series describes three patients with a similar clinical picture: unilateral abrupt visual loss, optic nerve edema, and a macular star exudate. In all cases we found significant antibody titers to Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch disease. Cat scratch disease seems to
Cat-scratch disease is a frequent but innocuous cause of chronic lymphadenopathy in children. Numerous atypical forms have been described. We report three cases of acute sight impairment revealing a cat-scratch disease.
BACKGROUND
A 13 year-old boy and two girls aged 10 and 13 suffered from a sudden
OBJECTIVE
To describe the epidemiologic, clinical, and imaging features of cat-scratch disease (CSD) to facilitate prompt recognition and noninvasive diagnosis of this condition.
METHODS
Eight otherwise healthy patients with pet cats presented with the subacute onset of epitrochlear, axillary, or
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) that present with abnormal imaging findings in the second half of pregnancy are mainly lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), cholesterol synthesis disorders (CSDs), glycogen storage disorder type IV (GSD IV), peroxisomal disorders, mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation
The flavonoids quercetin, 3-O-methylquercetin and luteolin play an important role in the anti-inflammatory activity of Achyrocline satureioides ethanol extracts when administered intraperitoneally. The present work describes the oral anti-inflammatory effect of quercetin and A. satureioides extracts
Conventional Z maps provide probability statements about the deviation of observed values from the norm. Galán et al. (1994) introduced Simultaneous Significance Probability Scales to detect abnormalities over the whole map, making use of the information provided by the topographic structure of
BACKGROUND
Bartonella henselae is included into the group of gram-negative bacteria that can cause not so rare disease known as cat-scratch disease (CSD). This disease is characterized by the specific general symptoms, and the complications in the eyes can be manifested in the form of
The variola virus was declared eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1980 but human infections by cowpox virus, another member of the genus Orthopoxvirus, are still observed, mainly in European countries. We report a woman who presented with two umbilicated vesicles surrounded by an
The past five years have seen numerous advances in the field of pediatric infectious diseases, and many of these have a substantial impact on the practice of dermatology. We review some of these advances and discuss their implications on etiology, diagnosis, therapy and complications of some
Various biological effects induced by the tumor promoting phorbol ester TPA in mouse skin are comparably suppressed by the immunologically inactive cyclosporine H (CsH) and by the strongly immunosuppressive cyclosporine A (CsA). These effects inhibited include the development of edema, stimulation
