    Author: Naji M, Cante V, Camus M, Monegier du Sorbier C, Guillet G.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 2013 Oct; 140(10):614-8. PubMed ID: 24090891.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Herein we report a case of cat scratch disease on account of its atypical presentation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 21-year-old woman presented erythema nodosum associated with painful bilateral inguinal adenopathy, odynophagia, joint pain and evening urticaria in a setting of impaired general condition. Initial serological testing for Bartonella henselae was negative. PCR for Bartonella henselae performed on an adenectomy fragment was positive. A favourable outcome was achieved with azithromycin. COMMENTS: This case shows an atypical and severe presentation of cat scratch disease and raises the problem of sensitivity of serotyping.
