Abstract
ASENSIO-SANCHEZ, V.M. et al. Serous macular detachment as an atypical sign in cat scratch disease. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.12, pp.717-720. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: A 58-year-old woman presented with 0.1 visual acuity in the left eye associated with a serous retinal detachment of the macula as the only ocular manifestation of cat scratch disease. This diagnosis was made by serum antibody titers and the clinical course. Discussion: Although uncommon, cat scratch disease should be considered in patients with a serous detachment in the macula region of the retina.
Keywords : Cat scratch disease; Bartonella henselae; serous detachment in the macula; erythema nodosum; lymphadenopathy.
