This report describes a case of granulomatous inflammation, involving the bone marrow and skin, due to Bartonella infection in an immunocompetent patient. The clinical presentation included prolonged fever, pancytopenia, rash and hepatitis. Bartonella infection should thus be added to the growing list of entities that produce marrow granulomas and fever.

Abbreviations: CSD, cat scratch disease; GGT, gamma glutamyl transferase.
