We report on a young patient with chronic cervical lymphadenopathy and serological and histological evidence for infection with Bartonella henselae and Toxoplasma gondii. Serological follow-up studies, including testing for avidity of Toxoplasma-specific immunoglobulin G antibodies, assisted in the determination of the cause of the acute lymphadenitis. Our results suggest that the clinical symptoms were most likely due to cat scratch disease rather than to acute toxoplasmosis.
我们报告了一名患有慢性颈淋巴结病的年轻患者,其血清学和组织学证据显示感染了汉氏巴尔通体和刚地弓形虫。血清学随访研究,包括检测弓形虫特异性免疫球蛋白G抗体的亲和力,有助于确定急性淋巴结炎的病因。我们的结果表明,临床症状很可能是由猫抓病而非急性弓形虫病引起的。
