ABSTRACT

Resumen La infección por Bartonella henselae es una enfermedad prevalente en nuestro país. En general, se presenta como la enfermedad por arañazo de gato o un síndrome febril prolongado. Existen manifestaciones atípicas dentro de las cuales está el compromiso óseo, cardíaco, hepatoesplénico y del sistema nervioso central. Se presenta el caso de una adolescente con historia de vómitos, fiebre y ataxia, en que se diagnosticó una infección por Bartonella henselae con compromiso del sistema nervioso central, asociada a un papiloma del plexo coroídeo. Este caso corresponde a una presentación inusual, de difícil diagnóstico. Su tratamiento es motivo de controversia, tanto en si es necesario tratar, la elección del antimicrobiano, como su duración.


Bartonella henselae infection is a prevalent illness in Chile. It presents generally as a cat scratch disease or as a prolonged fever syndrome. There are atypical manifestations, which include central nervous system, bone, cardiac and hepato-esplenic compromised. We present an adolescent case with a history of fever, vomiting and ataxia, whose diagnosis was a central nervous system infection by Bartonella henselae associated with a choroid plexus papilloma. This case corresponds to an unusual presentation, with a challenging diagnosis. It is controversial whether to treat this patient, which antimicrobial is the right choice and how long the treatment should be.
