Haemobartonella felis infection was demonstrated in 38 cats which could be divided into four groups as follows: group A, feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) free cats with H felis infection alone; group B, FeLV free cats with H felis infection and other clinical conditions; group C, FeLV positive cats with H felis infection but no clinical manifestation of FeLV related or any other intercurrent disease; and group D, FeLV positive cats with H felis infection and clinical manifestations of FeLV related or other diseases. Cats in group A were healthy carriers of the infection and none was anaemic, whereas some in group B had clinical haemobartonellosis and anaemia. This anaemia was mainly mild, normocytic and normochromic. Most of the cats in group C and all in group D were more severely ill and anaemic, the anaemia usually being macrocytic and hypochromic. Splenomegaly occurred only in groups C and D. Treatment with tetracyclines did not eliminate H felis from any of the cats and blood transfusions were ineffective in promoting long term recovery from anaemia in cats with intercurrent H felis and FeLV infections. The findings in the cats in groups C and D were further compared with those in a fifth group of cats which were infected with FeLV but free of H felis.
在38只猫身上证实了感染猫血巴尔通体，这些猫可分为以下四组：A组，仅感染猫血巴尔通体的无猫白血病病毒（FeLV）的猫；B组，感染猫血巴尔通体且伴有其他临床病症的无FeLV的猫；C组，感染猫血巴尔通体但无FeLV相关临床表现或任何其他并发疾病的FeLV阳性猫；以及D组，感染猫血巴尔通体且有FeLV相关或其他疾病临床表现的FeLV阳性猫。A组的猫是该感染的健康携带者，没有一只贫血，而B组的一些猫患有临床血巴尔通体病和贫血。这种贫血主要为轻度、正细胞正色素性。C组的大多数猫和D组的所有猫病情更严重且贫血，贫血通常为大细胞低色素性。脾肿大仅出现在C组和D组。用四环素治疗未能使任何一只猫清除猫血巴尔通体，输血对于促进同时感染猫血巴尔通体和FeLV的猫从贫血中实现长期恢复无效。将C组和D组猫的研究结果与第五组感染FeLV但未感染猫血巴尔通体的猫的结果作了进一步比较。
