Carrion disease is a biphasic infection with (2) phases
Oroya fever
Verruga peruana
Bartonella can be cultured in
5% rabbit/ sheep blood agar at 35- 37 C with 5-10% CO2
40% humidity
Bartonella lipopolysaccharide is an antagonist of TLR
4
Flagella of Bartonella bacilliformis is recognized by TLR5
True or False
False, not recognized
Mechanism to elude both humoral and cellular immunity
Parasitizing host RBCs
Most common Bartonella infection
Cat scratch disease
CSD affects immunocompetent patients with median age of
15 years
MC presenting sign of CSD
Lymphadenitis
Unilateral granulomatous conjunctivitis with ipsilateral preauricular and submandibular lymphadenopathy
Parinaud oculoglandular syndrome
5 regional lymphadenopathy sites of CSD
Axillary Cervical Inguinal Epitrochlear Preauricular
Acute unilateral blurred vision resulting from optic nerve edema with an afferent pupullary defect
CSD neuroretinitis
Large bulky lymphadenopathy of CSD is treated with
Azithromycin
Doxycycline
Erythromycin
If hepatosplenic CSD, management is
Rifampicin +/- Gentamicin or TMP SMX
If ocular CSD, management is
Doxycycline + Rifampicin
Classic patient of trench fever
Homeless, immunocompetent, alcoholic man with poor hygiene
Treatment of trench fever
28 days PO doxycycline + 14 days of IV gentamicin
MC site of disease of bacillary angiomatosis
Skin (55%- 90%)
Primary cause of liver, spleen, lymph node lesions in bacillary angiomatosis
B. Henselae
Primary cause of lesions in subQ and bone in bacillary angiomatosis
B. Quintana
Characteristic lesion of bacillary angiomatosis
Reddish purple, angiomatous purple 1 cm in diameter
Triad of peliosis hepatitis
Abdominal pain
Hepatomegaly
Splenomegaly
Most commonly affected bone in BA (2)
Radius or tibia
In BA, CD4 counts of AIDS patients is
<100 cells/mm3
Relapses are common especially if antibiotic has been given for less than
3 months
Treatment for uncomplicated BA
Erythromycin
Doxycycline
For 3 months
In severe cases of BA, treatment should include
Rifamycin + doxycyline, erythromycin
For Bartonella endocarditis
Doxycyline + Gentamicin for 2 weeks
Substitute rifamycin in renal insufficiency
20/80 rule is consistent with carrion disease, malaria, lesihmaniasis meaning
80% of disease in 20% of households
Highest incidence of Carrion disease is in
Less than 5 years old
Incidence of carrion disease is inversely proportional to age due to acquired immunity.
True or False
True
Matching type
- Hemolytic anemia
- Eruptive angiomatous, verrucous nodules on head and distal extremities
- Acute bacteremia
- Increase opportunistic infections
- Intense angioblastic proliferation
A. Oroya
B. Verruga peruana
A B A A B
Blood cultures in Carrion disease are often collected during
Oroya phase
Severe cases of Carrion disease are more likely to occur in natives.
True or False
False, travelers
Managment of Oroya fever
14 day ciprofloxacin
+ chloramphenicol/ B lactam
RBC should be transfused if Hct falls below
20%
Treatment for verruga peruana
Rifampicin + IM streptomycin
