Excerpt:
Cat-scratch disease-related neuroretinitis is a relatively
unusual pathology, with suspicious clinical epidemiological and
serological diagnosis. We present a case of an adolescent
suffering from unilateral neuroretinitis associated with
Bartonella henselae infection characterized by abrupt loss of
vision, optic disc swelling, and macular star exudates with
optimal response to antibiotic treatment.
