Ocular complications of cat scratch disease
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2022, Vol 37, Issue 8
Abstract
Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic disease caused by Bartonella, which not only has a variety of systemic manifestations, but also may have various ocular complications that endanger vision. With the increasing number of pets kept at home, its incidence shows an increasing trend year by year. Therefore, ophthalmologists should pay attention to this disease. The clinical manifestations of CSD are various, which easily lead to misdiagnosis. The medical history of contact with cats and other pets and serum immunoglobulin G antibody with high titer are the key to diagnosis, and polymerase chain reaction is also helpful to diagnosis. Because CSD is usually a self-limiting infection of individuals with strong immune ability, antibiotic treatment is usually not required. However, when immunity is low or infection is severe, doxycycline is the most commonly used antibiotic.
