Laboratory Findings
- Complete blood count and differential count - lymphocytosis is seen in the acute phase.
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - elevated.
- Serological testing (indirect immunofluorescence or enzymatic immunoassay with titration of IgG or IgM antibodies) - to detect serum antibody to B henselae.
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most sensitive test and is able to differentiate between different Bartonella species, as well as subspecies and strains.
