- - Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome (POGS) is a rare condition characterized by one-sided eye inflammation and lymph node swelling, often linked to cat scratch disease (CSD) caused by Bartonella henselae (BH).
- - Diagnosing POGS can be difficult due to its rarity and the wide range of potential causes, with the best diagnostic method being the PCR DNA test for BH, which isn't always readily available.
- - A series of three cases demonstrated effective management with antibiotics and non-drug measures like flea control, stressing the need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding CSD, especially in patients with feline exposure, and calling for more research to improve diagnosis and treatment options.
