Paws, probes, and PCR: Unraveling the clinical jigsaw puzzle of Bartonella henselae infection

In immunocompromised individuals presenting with pyrexia of unknown origin, Bartonella spp. infection warrants specific diagnostic consideration. Our case underscores the significance of probing into a patient's history, particularly past exposures to cats, as a crucial step in unraveling compl...
