    Sustained fever and increased thickness of the distal ileum on ultrasound suggested Crohn's disease in an adolescent boy. Bartonella henselae infection was diagnosed by specific serology and the patient recovered. Ileitis could be related to B. henselae infectio

    Pseudoinfectious mononucleosis: a presentation of Bartonella henselae infection

    No full text
    Six children presented during one year with clinical features of infectious mononucleosis, but with laboratory findings of leucocytosis with neutrophilia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and hypergammaglobulinaemia. Serology for Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, and Toxoplasma gondii was negative, while anti-Bartonella henselae IgM with high IgG titre (>/=1/1024) was present in all. All children had contact with kittens. No specific treatment was administered and all recovere

    Remotely sensed thermal data have been globally recognised as an effective and reliable tool to detect and quantify signs of volcanic unrest (Furtney et al. 2018; Reath et al. 2019; Coppola et al. 2020). Together with ground-truth data, satellite-retrieved information (i.e. thermal flux) enables scientists and researchers to monitor the evolution of volcanic activity (Ramsey and Harris 2013; Laiolo et al. 2019; Coppola et al. 2020). The aim of these investigations has long focused on volcanoes exhibiting surficial lava manifestations. Recent studies, however, revealed that thermal remote sensing can effectively track volcanic unrest at quiescent volcanoes showing background fumarolic activity and thermal features associated with hydrothermal systems (Reath et al. 2016; Furtney et al. 2018). Amongst these systems, Vulcano Island (Italy, lat. 38.40°N, lon. 14.96°E; Fig. 1(a)) has long intrigued the scientific community, supporting the construction of a comprehensive database of ground- and space-based thermal data
