Each year in the United States, 500 patients are hospitalized for cat-scratch disease, caused by Bartonella henselae infection. We report a case of rare but serious neurologic B. henselae infection. When typical features of cat-scratch disease occur with neurologic findings, Bartonella infection should be suspected and diagnostic testing should be performed.
在美国,每年有500名患者因汉赛巴尔通体感染引发的猫抓病而住院治疗。我们报告了一例罕见但严重的汉赛巴尔通体神经系统感染病例。当猫抓病的典型特征伴有神经系统症状时,应怀疑巴尔通体感染并进行诊断检测。
