| الوصف: | Bartonella henselae , the etiologic agent of cat‐scratch disease, causes a well‐defined, self‐limited syndrome of fever and regional lymphadenopathy in immunocompetent hosts. In immunocompromised hosts, however, B . henselae can cause severe disseminated disease and pathologic vasoproliferation known as bacillary angiomatosis ( BA ) or bacillary peliosis. BA was first recognized in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus. It has become more frequently recognized in solid organ transplant ( SOT ) recipients, but reports of pediatric cases remain rare. Our review of the literature revealed only one previously reported case of BA in a pediatric SOT recipient. We herein present 2 pediatric cases, one of which is the first reported case of BA in a pediatric cardiac transplant recipient, to our knowledge. In addition, we review and summarize the literature pertaining to all cases of B . henselae ‐mediated disease in SOT recipients. |
