Data retrieved from the medical records included demographic data, exposure, complaints, visual acuity, clinical findings and imaging, laboratory assessment, treatment, disease course and visual outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study group consisted of six patients who presented with branch retinal artery occlusion with or without neuroretinitis. One patient had multiple artery occlusions. Diagnosis of cat scratch disease was established based on positive serology and accompanying systemic symptoms, after ruling out other causes of retinal artery occlusion. Treatment included various regimens of antibiotics and systemic steroids. Visual outcome depended upon the obstructed artery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cat scratch disease may cause retinal artery occlusion in infected patients, leaving them with a permanent visual field defect. When retinal artery occlusion occurs as an early sign of the disease, prompt recognition may prevent further events. Thorough history and relevant tests may be of great value.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.12932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,10]],"date-time":"2016-01-10T13:42:41Z","timestamp":1452433361000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Retinal artery occlusion due to <i>Bartonella henselae<\/i> infection: a case series"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Maya","family":"Eiger\u2010Moscovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Rabin Medical Center Petach Tikva Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radgonde","family":"Amer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Hadassah Medical Center Jerusalem Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merih","family":"Oray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Istanbul Faculty of Medicine Istanbul University Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khalid F.","family":"Tabbara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Baltimore MD USA"},{"name":"Eye Center and Eye Foundation for Research in Ophthalmology Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilknur","family":"Tugal\u2010Tutkun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Istanbul Faculty of Medicine Istanbul University Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michal","family":"Kramer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Rabin Medical Center Petach Tikva Israel"},{"name":"Sackler School of Medicine Tel Aviv University Tel Aviv Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000354137"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2011.06.042"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(98)00306-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.72.12.7315-7317.2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10792-011-9422-3"}],"container-title":["Acta Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Faos.12932","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/aos.12932","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,23]],"date-time":"2023-09-23T12:59:37Z","timestamp":1695473977000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/aos.12932"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,8]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/aos.12932"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/aos.12932","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1755-375X","1755-3768"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1755-375X","type":"print"},{"value":"1755-3768","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,8]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2015-02-18","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2015-10-18","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2016-01-08","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
