<i>Bartonella henselae</i> as a cause of acute-onset febrile illness in cats

Abstract

We conclude that microbiological diagnosis and treatment of <i>B henselae</i> infection in cats can be challenging, that antibody titration results and resolution of clinical abnormalities may not correlate with a therapeutic cure, and that fever and potentially neutropenia should be differential diagnostic considerations for young cats with suspected bartonellosis.
