AB  - PURPOSE: To report an unusual case of neuroretinitis caused by Bartonella 
      quintana and its spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) features. 
      METHODS: A 12-year-old girl presented with unilateral neuroretinitis with 
      stellate maculopathy. Bartonellosis was confirmed after serologic testing for 
      antibodies to B. quintana. RESULTS: Color photograph of the right eye revealed 
      papillitis and stellate macular exudation. spectral-domain optical coherence 
      tomography of the right eye revealed hyperreflective dots in the outer nuclear 
      and outer plexiform layers, as well as disruption and loss of the external 
      limiting membrane, ellipsoid zone, and interdigitation zone in the foveal area. 
      CONCLUSION: The authors report an unusual case of neuroretinitis by B. quintana 
      and its spectral-domain optical coherence tomographic findings.
