The search for the infectious agents responsible for cat-scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and related syndromes has a long and often circuitous history. Recognition of the etiologic agents and a new understanding of the fundamental features of the epidemiology and natural history of modern day Bartonella (formerly Rochalimaea)-associated diseases culminate a multipartite story that combines clinical medicine, traditional microbiology, and novel technological approaches to solve a long-standing enigma.
对导致猫抓病、杆菌性血管瘤病及相关综合征的感染因子的探寻有着漫长且常常迂回曲折的历史。对病原体的认识以及对现代巴尔通体(以前称为罗卡利马氏体)相关疾病流行病学和自然史基本特征的全新理解,构成了一个多方面的故事,它融合了临床医学、传统微生物学以及新颖的技术方法,以解开一个长期存在的谜团。
