Description |
Neuroretinitis is characterized by optic disc edema with fluid or lipid exudates in the papillomacular bundle and around the fovea. Most infectious cases are due to cat-scratch disease, caused by Bartonella species. Bartonella is one of the most common types of bacteria in the world, and cats are considered the natural reservoir of this pathogen. |
