A 52\u2010year\u2010old woman was transplanted for hepatitis C cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Her posttransplant course was uneventful. She presented 2.7 years after transplantation with fever of unknown origin and went on to develop multiple and diffuse discrete liver lesions. Despite an extensive work\u2010up including percutaneous and laparoscopic biopsies, a subsegmental resection that included one of these masses was required to make the diagnosis of <jats:italic>Bartonella henselae<\/jats:italic> infection. Serologic tests were equivocal. Histology was consistent with cat scratch disease of the liver, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of the resected tissue confirmed the diagnosis. Response to doxycycline was rapid. Fevers resolved within 7 days. Repeat abdominal CT scan showed reduction of the liver masses. Cat scratch disease should be considered in postliver transplant patients presenting with fever and liver lesions, especially if close contact with cats has occurred. Diagnosis by PCR testing of involved tissue is preferred when serologies are equivocal due to immunosuppression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1478-3231.2006.01386.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,12,6]],"date-time":"2006-12-06T17:23:10Z","timestamp":1165425790000},"page":"145-148","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Cat
