Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a systemic illness caused by the gram-negative bacteria Bartonella henselae (B. henselae). Cats serve as the primary host reservoir for B. henselae, with cat fleas as the horizontal vector of transmission. It is transmitted to humans through close contact with cats and cat scratches and bites. We describe two cases of bilateral Bartonella neuroretinitis that were presented to Palmerston North Hospital Eye Clinic.
猫抓病(CSD)是由革兰氏阴性细菌汉氏巴尔通体(Bartonella henselae)引起的全身性疾病。猫是 B. henselae 的主要宿主储存库,猫蚤是水平传播的媒介。它通过与猫的密切接触以及猫的抓挠和咬伤传播给人类。我们描述了两例双侧 Bartonella 神经视网膜炎病例,这些病例均就诊于帕默斯顿北医院眼科诊所。
