Resumen
Bartonellosis, also known as cat scratch disease, is a generally benign, self-limited and zoonotic bacterial infection with worldwide distribution, which is produced by Bartonella henselae or clarridgeiae, being a gram-negative, aerobic, non-motile proteobacterium with intracellular behavior. optional. Within its biological cycle, it includes arthropod vectors such as fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) or ticks as intermediate hosts; however, they can be found in the environment or on the skin, nails and limbs of the cat. That is why its main route of transmission in humans is by scratching or biting it, which causes vaculoproliferative changes, thanks to its tropism for endothelial cells and erythrocytes. The vast majority of cats are assigned, although they can develop bacteremia for long periods of time, but without representing any danger to their health. Contrary to men who can present local lymphadenitis, bacteremia or serious multisystem conditions. In Colombia, it is not a notifiable disease, so its impact on public health is indeterminate, in addition to not having reference studies on its seroprevalence or case reports that demonstrate its importance in the field of health. Reason why this review seeks to publicize the zoonotic importance of feline Bartonellosis today, through a compilation of information in various databases such as: ELSIEVER, DIALNET, PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT, among others.
