Cat-scratch fever

Bacterial peliosis hepatis has been determined in cases of HIV infection and cat-scratch fever, where it is caused by Rochahmaea quintana bacteria (Bartonella henselae), (s. p. 482) It presents as a proliferation of blood-filled cystic sinusoidal cavities, which are surrounded by fibromyxoid stroma (M.J. Dolan et at, 1993). Sometimes it is possible to identify the causative organism using PCR or staining with a silver dye (War-thin-Starry). Treatment can then follow with antibiotic agents, such as erythromycin, doxycyclin or clarithromycin. [Pg.398]
