Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Bartonella henselae infections are closely related to a number of clinical conditions of growing interest in our environment. As cats are the reservoir, and their bites and scratches are the main transmission mechanism, we attempted to study the seroepidemiology of the infection caused by this microorganism in a risk group of patients (cat owners) and a control group (blood donors). PATIENTS AND METHODS:October 1977. Measurement of antibody titres to B. henselae at different dilutions (breakpoint > or = 1:64) by indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) in 83 cat owners and 85 blood donors. Also, an epidemiologic investigation was carried out (age, sex, alcohol, intake, common cat exposure, cat bite or cat scratch, number and age of cats, bite or presence of fleas, use of repellents, clinical picture consistent with cat scratch disease [CSD]). RESULTS:Twenty-four cat owners (28.9%) and five blood donors (5.9%) had titres > or = 1:64 (OR: 6.51; 95% CI: 2.32 to 22.9). Also, the logistic regression analysis showed an association with daily alcohol intake and the previous antecedent of lymph node enlargement of unknown origin among cat owners. CONCLUSIONS:A high prevalence of antibodies to B. henselae was demonstrate among cat owners.
