    Extractions: Cat Scratch Disease: Has Identification of The Causative Agent Been Solved? United States the incidence of CSD has been estimated at 9.3 cases per 100,000 population each year. In 1983, lymph node biopsies prepared with Warthin-Stany silver stain enabled visualization of pleomorphic organisms. In 1988, a specific bacillus was cultured from the lymph nodes of CSD patients. This motile, gram-negative rod was later named Afipiafelis in honor of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), where most of the work was performed. This is the organism currently reported to be the etiologic agent of CSD in Veterinary Clinics of North America , Small Animal Practice.

    Extractions: CAT SCRATCH DISEASE Signs and Symptoms Neuroretinitis secondary to cat scratch disease. The patient with cat scratch disease (CSD) is typically younger. Often, there is a history of being scratched by a cat, though this history is not invariably present. However, there will be a history of exposure to cats. The incidence of case presentations tends to be higher during breeding seasons of cats, which are typically fall and winter. The patient will manifest a regional lymphadenitis with the appearance of a small cutaneous lesion at the site of the inoculation following an incubation period ranging from several days to weeks. The patient will develop fever and flu-like symptoms, which typically resolve within three to six weeks. Vision varies widely, from normal acuity to finger counting, depending upon the severity of ocular manifestations. While patients may be visually asymptomatic, relative afferent pupil defects, dyschromatopsia and field loss may also be present. Systemic signs may include hepatosplenic infection, encephalopathy, osteomyelitis and endocarditis. The most common ocular syndrome occurring from CSD is Parinaud's oculoglandular syndrome, manifesting as conjunctivitis, retrotarsal conjunctival granulations, regional preauricular and cervical lymphadenitis

    Extractions: A four year old girl presents to the pediatric clinic with a chief complaint of a slowly enlarging mass in her right armpit for the past two weeks. She has had no fever, but has had some loss of appetite. The mass was initially small and did not hurt; however, it has now grown to the size of an orange and has become painful. She cannot lower her arm due to the pain from the mass, and she carries her arm extended at 90 degrees to her body. Movement of her arm exacerbates the pain. She does have a 3 month old kitten at home that she "rescued from a sewer". It was covered with fleas when she found it. It playfully bites and scratches her. Three weeks ago it scratched her right thumb. The scratch healed, but a small "wart" has developed in the line of the scratch. There is a scab on the wart and her mother has tried to squeeze the wart, but no pus has come out. ROS: Non-contributory. No cough. No weight loss. No change in activity other than being unable to use her right arm well.

    Extractions: Serologic results for cat scratch disease encephalitis patients.. On August 14, 1994, the Broward County Public Health Unit of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services was notified of three children from Pompano Beach who were hospitalized with encephalitis attributed to cat scratch disease (CSD). All three children (aged 5, 6, and 11 years) were previously healthy and had no histories of seizure disorders or diagnoses of CSD. This report summarizes the investigation of these cases. On August 12 and 13, during a 26-hour period, each child entered the emergency department of the same hospital with sudden onset of generalized seizures, coma, and respiratory depression requiring intubation and assisted ventilation. Two of the children had focal lymphadenopathy (axillary and epitrochlear) on admission; cervical lymphadenopathy developed in the third child during hospitalization. Clinical examinations and laboratory tests ruled out some causes of encephalopathy, including viral infections (e.g., herpes simplex and arboviruses), metabolic disorders, and toxic ingestions.

    Extractions: Heska Obtains Exclusive License for Cat Scratch Disease Vaccine Technologies PR Newswire; Monday, February 2, 1998 FORT COLLINS, Colo., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ Heska Corporation (Nasdaq: HSKA) announced today that it has obtained an exclusive license for the use of Bartonella henselae as a vaccine against Cat Scratch Disease from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. Cat Scratch Disease is caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae that is transmitted from cats to humans by a cat's scratch or other means. CDC holds patents in this area, as investigators at CDC were the first to identify Bartonella henselae as the causative agent of Cat Scratch Disease. Heska's license, which covers not only use of the bacterium but also of portions of the bacterium, will convert to a non-exclusive license at the conclusion of the exclusive term. Cat Scratch Disease can cause skin inflammation, mild fever and swollen lymph nodes in healthy people following infection. In immunocompromised people, such as the very young, older people or HIV-positive individuals, Cat Scratch Disease may result in a life-threatening but curable infection. Due to the potential severity of this disease, doctors may recommend to at-risk individuals that cats be removed from the household. The Company believes that over 22,000 cases of Cat Scratch Disease in humans are reported each year.

    Extractions: You or your children may have had it, but were completely unaware that you were "sick." Just as Bartonella Henslae is more commonly found in kittens, its counterpart, Cat Scratch Fever is more commonly found in children, and its symptoms are often so mild that they may have been dismissed as "just a slight fever." Susan Little, DVM, writing for the Winn Feline Foundation, tells more about this mysterious disease , which is classified as a "zoonose."

    Extractions: How to prevent getting it (HealthDay News) Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a bacterial infection that develops when people have been bitten or scratched by a cat. Lymph nodes, especially those around the head, neck and upper limbs, become swollen. A person with CSD may also have symptoms of fever, headache, fatigue and a poor appetite. About 40 percent of cats, especially kittens, carry the bacteria that causes this disease at some time in their lives. Cats that carry it do not show any signs of illness, so you cannot tell which cats can spread the disease. Although the bacteria has been found in fleas, so far there is no evidence that a bite from an infected flea can give you CSD. The National Center for Infectious Diseases offers these tips to prevent CSD: Avoid "rough play" with cats, especially kittens, that may lead to cat scratches and bites. Wash bites and scratches immediately and thoroughly with running water and soap.
