Lytic bone involvement accompanying cat-scratch disease has been described previously in three patients. I observed a fourth patient with this pathologic condition and noted variations among the four patients. To my knowledge, this patient is the first in whom extension from an involved lymph node to a bone was direct.

In recent years, discovery proteomics has emerged as a pivotal tool in biological research, especially when studying the intricate relationships among multiple organisms. To delve deeper into these interactions, we pioneered a bottom-up proteomics workflow. Using nanoLC-MS/MS and a label-free quantification method, this work specifically examines the differential protein expression in fleas (Ctenocephalides felis felis) that have been experimentally infected with Bartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD).

Background: Cat scratch disease (CSD) is the most common human infection caused by (). The main manifestation is self-limited lymphadenopathy that primarily affects adolescents, and typically resolves without treatment within 2-4 months. However, individuals with compromised immune systems or immunodeficiency require specific antibacterial therapy following diagnosis.

Bartonella henselae is a Gram-negative bacillus, mainly parasitizing on cats. When a child is scratched by a cat, they may present with the disease symptoms including regional lymphadenopathy, malaise, fever, and splenomegaly, which is known as cat-scratch disease (CSD). Ocular manifestations occur in 5-10% of patients with CSD.

The zoonotic pathogen is responsible for diverse human diseases, from mild to life-threatening, but it often eludes detection in culture-based assays. This study investigates the potential of to enter a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state when exposed to human fever temperature or antibiotics, with this state confirmed by successful resuscitation. Viability was assessed using SYBR Green I/PI staining and propidium monoazide-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PMA-qPCR), while culturability was determined through colony-forming unit (CFU) counting on blood agar plates.
