Özet:

 

A case of pyogranulomatous myocarditis and diaphragmatic myositis caused by Bartonella henselae in an 18months old tricolor female cat in Turkey was reported in this study. The cat had flea infestation before clinical disease onset. The catshowed clinical findings including lethargy, anorexia, dyspnea, hypersalivation, and polydipsia. At necropsy, the myocardiumcontained numerous 1 to 2 mm, discrete to coalescing, white-grey nodular foci with approximately 250 ml of serosanguineous fluid inthe thorax. By Warthin-Starry silver staining, argyrophilic pleomorphic coccobacilli were seen within the myocardial anddiaphragmatic pyogranulomatous lesions. B. henselae DNA was detected in heart, kidney and liver tissues by targeting the riboflavinsynthase C (ribC) gene by PCR. Using immunofluorescence technique, B. henselae was also visualized in myocardial tissues. Thisreport provides additional evidence in support of an etiological association between pyogranulomatous myocarditis and diaphragmaticmyositis and B. henselae infection in cats.  .
