A description of clinical example of isolated Parinaud conjunctivitis in a 13 year old white boy (Ukrainian) without a precise connection with any infection, including cat scratch disease or somatic pathology is provided. Results. The treatment with systemic (per os) azithromycin 500 mg at once, in a course of five days led to recovery. Conclusion. Thus, the only clinical manifestation of B. henselae infection can be isolated Parinaud conjunctivitis, and in the case of granulomatous conjunctivitis, especially in children, felinosis should always be excluded in differential diagno?sis.
