Can erythromycin effectively treat cat-scratch disease caused by Bartonella henselae and how does it compare to other antibiotics in managing this zoonotic infection?
Erythromycin can treat cat-scratch disease, but azithromycin is preferred for its effectiveness and shorter course of treatment.
Erythromycin is less preferred due to higher resistance rates and more side effects compared to azithromycin, which is more effective against Bartonella henselae.
