  • Title: [Cat-scratch disease].
    Author: Vassalli G, Russi E.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1991 Nov 19; 80(47):1324-6. PubMed ID: 1957098.
    Abstract:
    Cat-scratch disease is usually a self-limited illness characterized by regional lymphadenopathy and a skin inoculation lesion. These findings generally resolve spontaneously over a period of several weeks or months. The discovery of the causative organism, an intracellular gram-negative rod and the recognition of severe systemic courses in immuno-compromised patients have renewed the interest in this disease. We report a prolonged clinical course with lymph node suppuration in an immunocompetent patient. The diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of the organism in Warthin-Starry silver stained lymph node biopsy.
