Cat-scratch disease, a bacterial infection, can cause Parinaud syndrome and vertebral lesions. While eye symptoms resolved, bone infections persisted for years in an 8-year-old girl.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic bacterial infection typically transmitted by cats.
  • Parinaud syndrome, a form of CSD, affects the eye and surrounding glands.
  • Vertebral involvement in CSD is rare, presenting a diagnostic challenge.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old girl presented with inoculation injury and regional lymphadenopathy consistent with Parinaud syndrome.
  • Imaging revealed vertebral lesions, suggesting osteomyelitis.
  • The oculoglandular symptoms resolved spontaneously within weeks.

Findings:

  • CSD can manifest with diverse clinical presentations beyond typical lymphadenopathy.
  • Vertebral osteomyelitis is a potential, albeit uncommon, complication of CSD.

  • Oculoglandular CSD may resolve while osseous lesions demonstrate persistent pathology.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering CSD in pediatric patients with unexplained vertebral lesions.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for preventing long-term complications.
    • Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for CSD-induced osteomyelitis.
