AB Bartonella henselae can cause cat scratch disease and bacillary
angiomatosis, a multisystem disorder seen primarily in patients with the
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Both of these diseases are
associated with neurologic complications, particularly encephalopathy.
B. henselae may also cause bacteremia and endocarditis, and has been
associated with aseptic meningitis and with dementia in patients also
infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Recent advances in
identification of this difficult-to-culture organism will lead to
recognition of more neurologic complications.
