5 A 57-year-old woman with blurred vision Serological studies indicated recent infection with Bartonella henselae (IgM ≥1:20, IgG ≥1:1024). There was complete recovery following treatment with doxycycline and rifampin. It is important for clinicians to identify optic neuropathy associated with cat-scratch disease, which often has a favorable prognosis. Stellate macular exudates are absent in more than 50% patients. 2 © 2014 American Academy of Neurology Vodopivec I, et al.
