Abstract
in English, French

We present three clinical cases to show the diversity of clinical presentations of Bartonella henselae infection, from classical adenopathy to disseminated form. It is an infection that leads to diagnostic wandering, due to a lack of explicit history and the variety of clinical manifestations. Antibiotic therapy is rarely necessary because it has a spontaneously favourable evolution in the majority of cases.

Nous présentons trois cas permettant de montrer l’hétérogénéité des tableaux cliniques de l’infection à Bartonella henselae, de l’adénopathie classique à la forme disséminée. Il s’agit d’une infection qui peut mener à une errance diagnostique, en raison d’une anamnèse parfois peu parlante et de la diversité des présentations cliniques. L’antibiothérapie est rarement nécessaire puisqu’il s’agit d’une maladie à évolution spontanément favorable dans la majorité des cas.
