Cat-scratch disease

Persistent regional lymphadenopathy is commonly encountered in children seen by the general paediatrician. Cat-scratch disease (CSD),

also referred to as felinosis in the literature, is one of the possible causes and occurs far more frequently than it is diagnosed. CSD most

commonly occurs after a cat scratch or bite followed by the appearance of an inoculation lesion which is often overlooked; subsequently,

subacute regional lymphadenopathy develops which lasts for several months and may be accompanied by systemic symptoms. The

present case report describes a case with a typical course of the disease without organ complications based on which current diagnostic

and therapeutic options are discussed.

Keywords: Cat-scratch disease (cat-scratch fever), CSD, bartonellosis, subacute regional lymphadenitis, differential diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention.
