At present, Bartonella species are increasingly important as infectious agents in both animals and humans. Bartonella henselae, the most frequently diagnosed species, is known to cause numerous clinical syndromes in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. In healthy individuals, the infection is most commonly manifested as the so-called cat scratch disease. The manifestations include erythema or papule at the point of entry of infection (site of injury) and regional lymphadenitis. The aim of the case report is to present the disease as one of possible causes of colliquative cervical lymphadenitis.

Caseous lymphadenitis is an infectious disease that has a significant economic impact on sheep breeding. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of season, animals' age, sex, body score and shearing on the clinical incidence of caseous lymphadenitis, relapses and abscess location in sheep from Settat province, Morocco. In this longitudinal study, 274 clinically healthy sheep were recruited in six flocks among 1451 inspected sheep and followed during 12 months to cover four seasons.

For patients with necrotizing cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (CTL) who have formed abscesses and are unwilling to undergo surgery, early and accurate assessment of drug therapy should be performed to guide subsequent clinical adjustments. This study investigated 22 patients with necrotizing CTL who underwent chemotherapy at our hospital from February 2020 to December 2022. They were diagnosed based on the positive results of pathogen detection methods (acid-fast bacillus smear, mycobacteria culture, Gene X-pert, and next-generation sequencing).

Klebsiella spp. are gram-negative facultative anaerobic heavily encapsulated bacteria associated with opportunistic and primary infections in a wide range of species. We assessed a series of cases (n=8) of necrosuppurative peritonitis, lymphadenitis, and/or pyelonephritis in wild juvenile raccoons (Procyon lotor) that died under rehabilitator care in New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, US, between July 2020 and December 2023, plus a retrospective case of a juvenile raccoon necropsied from New York in August 2011.

Article Synopsis
- * The case report outlines four instances of extrapulmonary NTM disease in immunocompetent patients, with varied clinical outcomes ranging from meningitis and brain abscesses to cervical lymphadenopathy, highlighting misdiagnoses with tuberculosis.
- * The findings emphasize the importance of awareness among clinicians regarding NTM disease, as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes, especially for those with more severe infections.
