BACKGROUND Bartonella infection is the causative organism of cat-scratch disease (CSD), which typically presents with self-limited localized lymphadenopathy. In HIV-infected patients, Bartonella infection can cause systemic illnesses with significant morbidity and mortality manifesting as bacillary angiomatosis (BA), hepatic peliosis, splenitis, bacteremic febrile illness, and other organ involvement. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of HIV-infected patients presenting with generalized lymphadenopathy caused by Bartonella infection.

Introduction: Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD) is a well-recognized benign cause of localized lymphadenopathy, which often recovers spontaneously. However systemic clinical presentations are described in immunodeficient adults (bacillary angiomatosis, bacillary splenitis) and are less common in immunocompetent ones.
Exegesis: We report two cases of disseminated CSD in immunocompetent patients, presenting hepatosplenic nodules, associated in the second case with an endocarditis.

A 65-year-old man developed massive hemoperitoneum secondary to spontaneous splenic rupture. Histopathological analysis of the spleen demonstrated necrotizing granulomas. Results of serological tests indicated infection with a species of Bartonella, and immunohistochemical staining established Bartonella henselae as the cause of splenitis.

Bartonella (Rochalimaea) henselae is a common cause of cat-scratch disease. This newly identified bacterium is also the cause of several other clinical syndromes, including bacillary angiomatosis, bacillary peliosis hepatitis and splenitis, and acute and relapsing bacteremia. A high percentage of young cats carry B.
