Cat scratch disease is a non-epidemic infection caused by Gram negative bacillus Bartonella henselae. The most common course of the disease includes regional lymphadenitis and skin papula at the entrance site of the infection. We report a case of a female, 22 years of age, with cat scratch disease.
Clinically we observed the typical skin papula at the entrance site of the infection with severe suppurative lymphadenitis of the parotid region and the neck. We have observed the course of the disease.
Болестта от одраскване от котка е неепидемична инфекция, причиняваща се от Bartonella henselae. Най-често заболяването протича с регионален лимфаденит и кожна папула на входната врата на инфекцията.
Описваме клиничен случай на болест от одраскване от котка при жена на 22 год. Клинично наблюдавахме типична кожна папула в зоната на входната врата и протрахиран супуративен лимфаденит на паротидната област и шията. Наблюдавахме хода на заболяването.
