Cat-scratch disease encephalopathy (CSDE) is a rare neurological condition caused by Gram-negative bacilli. This report details five new cases, contributing to the understanding and recommended antibiotic treatment for CSDE.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic illness caused by Bartonella henselae.
  • Neurological complications, such as cat-scratch disease encephalopathy (CSDE), are rare but serious manifestations of CSD.

Observation:

  • This report presents five new cases of cat-scratch disease encephalopathy.
  • A review of existing literature identified only 96 previously described cases of CSDE.
  • The causative Gram-negative bacilli were identified using Warthin-Starry and Dieterle silver stains.

Findings:

  • The causative agent of CSDE is identified as Gram-negative bacilli.
  • The onset of CSDE is typically acute.
  • The prognosis for CSDE is generally favorable with appropriate treatment.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and prompt antibiotic administration are crucial for managing CSDE.
  • Increased awareness of CSDE is needed among clinicians managing patients with suspected Bartonella henselae infections.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal treatment strategies for CSDE is warranted.
