Abstract EN
Systemic clinical presentations of infection caused by Bartonella henselae are rare in immunocompetent adults.
We report four cases with hepatic and/or splenic involvement, presenting as fever of unknown origin.
We discuss diagnosis and treatment of this infection.
Bartonella henselae serology allows an easy diagnosis of hepatosplenic involvement in cat scratch disease, a clinical picture that appears to be underrecognized.
