Bartonellosis (aka Bartonella illness, cat scratch fever)
Bartonella henselae is associated with heartburn, abdominal pain, skin rash, mesenteric adenitis, gastritis and duodentis in children and adolescents. Symptoms can include visual problems, headaches, significant lymph node enlargement, resistant neurological deficits and the new onset of a seizure disorder. Diagnosis is based on acute and convalescent antibody titers (IFA) and/or positive PCR analysis. Treatment may be combination macrolides, TCNs, rifamycin, (also possible Bactrim or fluoroquinolones).
