Abstract

Cat-scratch disease is a relatively common benign infection, presumably caused by a virus transmitted through the scratch of a cat. It is estimated that since 1951 more than 1000 cases have been recorded.The most important clinical manifestation is lymphadenitis. Diagnosis is based on positive results of a skin test with cat- scratch antigen; treatment includes antibiotic therapy and occasionally drainage by aspiration of suppurative nodes if they become fluctuant.
