The clinical course of bartonellosis in 24 cats
Keyword(s):
The aim of this study was to analyse clinical cases of bartonellosis. Medical records of cats naturally infected with Bartonella henselae were retrospectively evaluated with regard to clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities at the time of presentation, therapy and course of disease. The most common clinical abnormalities in B. henselae-positive cats included in the study were flea allergic dermatitis (29.5%), fever (25%) and diarrhoea (12.5%). Thrombocytopenia was the most common laboratory abnormality (50%).The results of the study indicate that B. henselae infection must be considered in differential diagnosis in patients with thrombocytopenia and flea invasion.
