Symptoms can vary from mild to severe, and may include achiness and discomfort (malaise), and/or loss of appetite (anorexia). The disease is caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae and, in most cases, occurs as a result of a scratch, bite, or lick from a cat or kitten. Symptoms may not appear for several days after exposure and may last for several weeks. Although cat-scratch disease usually subsides without treatment, antibiotic and/or antimicrobial therapy may speed recovery. Approximately 22,000 cases are reported in the United States each year, although more mild cases may go unnoticed and resolve without treatment.

It was first described in by Henri Parinaud and has been called Parinaud oculoglandular disease and la malade des griffes du chat . The cat was recognized as the vector of the disease in by Dr. Robert Debr©. The disease begins with a small pustule at the site of the scratch, and painful swelling of the local lymph nodes follows. In more severe cases there may be fever malaise and anorexia . The disease usually resolves spontaneously, with or without treatment, in one month. In immunocompromised patients more severe complications sometimes occur.

Volume 28-08 15 April 2002 Table of Contents INTERNATIONAL NOTES CAT-SCRATCH DISEASE IN CHILDREN - TEXAS, SEPTEMBER 2000 TO AUGUST 2001 Cat-scratch disease (CSD), a bacterial infection caused by Bartonella henselae , has emerged as a relatively common and occasionally serious zoonotic disease among children and adults. To illustrate the spectrum of clinical manifestations of CSD observed during a 1-year period, Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston reviewed the medical records of 32 children evaluated at TCH between September 2000 and August 2001 whose antibody titres indicated recent Bartonella infection. This report summarizes the evaluations of these cases and highlights four manifestations of infection with this pathogen in children. The findings emphasize that although CSD is generally a mild, self-limited illness, the differential diagnosis often includes more serious conditions (e.g., lymphoma, carcinoma, mycobacterial or fungal infection, or neuroblastoma) that might result in protracted hospital stays and lengthy treatments before diagnosis. Timely assessment of CSD is important, particularly when invasive diagnostic measures are being considered. Case Reports Case 1.

Some patients with CSD have atypical features, such as eye involvement, encephalitis, endocarditis, hepatitis, or osteomyelitis. Recent advances in serologic testing have improved the ability to reliably diagnose this often clinically vague infection. Metzkor-Cotter and colleagues describe the use of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) technique for diagnosis of CSD. The most widely used diagnostic test for CSD at present is an immunofluorescent antibody assay, but it is technically difficult to perform and prone to interobserver variability regarding the interpretation of immunofluorescence. Because the EIA described in this study is numeric, there is no need for subjective interpretation. The authors enrolled 98 patients with clinical and serologic evidence of CSD in their study. About 95 percent of the subjects had regional lymphadenopathy (most commonly axillary, inguinal, or cervical), and about one half reported fever and malaise. The most common atypical manifestation was eye involvement (oculoglandular syndrome or neuroretinitis), which was noted in about 10 percent of subjects.

Cat-scratch disease is usually a benign, self-limited illness characterized by tender regional (rarely, generalized) lymphadenopathy that lasts more than three weeks, although the affected nodes may remain enlarged for several months. The disease is considered the most common cause of chronic regional lymphadenitis in children,[1] with 80 percent of cases occurring in persons under 21 years of age.[2] The symptoms of cat-scratch disease develop about six to eight weeks after a cat scratch or other direct contact with a cat or its saliva, although the patient may not recall the contact.[3,6] Bacillary angiomatosis and a number of other syndromes are also attributed to cat exposure, but the primary inoculation and lymphadenitis are less apparent than in cat-scratch disease (Table 1).[1,5-16]

What is going on in the body? The Bartonella henselae bacteria causes a local infection at the site where it entered the body. Lymph nodes near the area become swollen 1 to 7 weeks after exposure to the bacteria. Sometimes, a small, solid skin lesion will develop at the site. Most cases of cat- scratch disease are self-limited, which means they go away on their own. In rare cases, cat-scratch disease can cause infections in other body areas, such as the following: conjunctivitis , which involves the eyes encephalitis , which involves the brain meningitis , which involves the brain and spinal cord osteomyelitis , which involves bone pneumonia , which affects the lungs People with impaired immune systems are more likely to suffer severe and complicated infections.

40. Cat Scratch Disease Cat scratch disease is an infection that causes swelling of the lymph nodes afteran animal scratch. Read our article to learn about signs and symptoms, http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/cat_scratch.html

KidsHealth Parents Infections Cat scratch disease is a bacterial infection that typically causes swelling of the lymph nodes . It usually results from the scratch , lick, or bite of a cat - more than 90% of people with the illness have had some kind of contact with cats, often with kittens. Bartonella henselae is the bacterium that causes cat scratch disease. It is found in all parts of the world, and the infection occurs more often in the fall and winter. In the United States, about 22,000 cases of cat scratch disease are diagnosed annually, most of them in people under the age of 21. This may be because children are more likely to play with cats and be bitten or scratched. Fleas spread the bacteria between cats, although there is no evidence that fleas can transmit the disease to humans. Once a cat is infected, the bacteria live in the animal's saliva. Bartonella henselae does not make a cat sick, and kittens or cats may carry the bacteria for months. Experts believe that almost half of all cats have a Bartonella henselae infection at some time in their lives, and cats less than a year old are more likely to be infected.
