Bartonellosis
Bartonellosis encompasses several infectious diseases caused by bacteria of the genus Bartonella, which can be transmitted through animal scratches or bites and through the bite of certain insects.
Common causes: Contact with cats is a known route in some of its forms, while certain insect vectors are involved in other presentations.
Common symptoms: It may present with fever, swelling of lymph nodes near the affected area, general malaise, and, in some variants, skin lesions.
Which specialist treats it? The workup falls to the infectious disease specialist, with support from the internist for a complete view of the patient. If swollen lymph nodes and fever appear after a scratch or bite, it is worth having a doctor evaluate it without delay.
