Abstract Purpose: To report neuroretinitis in a female working at a veterinary hospital.

Case: A 38-year-old female presented with visual field defect in the left eye since one week before. The left eye showed optic disc swelling and serous retinal detachment involving the macula. The left eye showed macular star leading to the diagnosis of neuroretinitis 10 days later. She was found to be working at a veterinary hospital. Her forearm showed papules and scratched wound. Antibody studies showed elevated levels of IgM and IgG antibodies to Bartonella henselae, confirming the diagnosis of cat scratch disease.

Conclusion: The present case illustrates that a veterinary hospital worker may be prone to neuroretinitis as manifestation of Bartonella henselae infection secondary to cat scratch disease.
