Cat scratch disease is a disease caused by bacteria that are often carried by cats, especially kittens. About a week after being scratched or bitten, your child may have these symptoms: 1 or more bumps at the site of a cat scratch or bite tiredness poor appetite headache fever. One to 4 weeks later, the bacteria travel to nearby lymph nodes, usually in the armpit, groin or neck. The lymph nodes become large lumps that are usually painful and may get red. These large lymph nodes that are the most typical feature of cat scratch disease. What causes cat scratch disease? The name of the bacterium that causes cat scratch disease is Bartonella henselae . Cats get the disease from fleas. The Bartonella bacteria does not cause the animal to act sick. The bacteria are usually transmitted to humans through a cat scratch, bite, or lick. Sometimes there is no obvious cause of infection (for example, your child has no scratches and wasn't ever near a cat). Rarely, the disease is spread by a dog or other animal. How is it diagnosed?

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

Case Based Pediatrics For Medical Students and Residents Department of Pediatrics, University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine Chapter VI.29. Cat Scratch Disease Judy Makowski Vincent, MD August 2002 Return to Table of Contents 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.

Rainbow Pediatrics Knowledgebase Knowledgebase Information on Specific Illnesses Here you will find discussions of specific illnesses and their management. 63. Cat Scratch Disease Top Definition An infectious illness associated with cat scratches, bites, or exposure to cat saliva, causing chronic swelling of the lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). Causes, Incidence and Risk Factors Cat scratch disease is caused by a gram negative bacillus (a type of bacteria) presently referred to as CSD bacillus or Bartonella henselae. The disease is spread through contact with an infected cat, as a result of a cat bite or scratch, or contact with cat saliva on broken skin or the conjunctiva of the eye. Lymph node swelling begins about 2 to 3 weeks after exposure and may persist for months. Swelling may occur at the site of the initial infection followed by enlarged lymph nodes along the lymph drainage route from the injury site. Occasionally nodes may form a fistula through the skin and drain. Cat scratch disease is possibly the most common cause of chronic lymph node swelling in children. Until now the disease often went unrecognized because of the difficulty in testing. Recently however, the B. henselae IFA test was shown to be highly sensitive and specific for the detection of infection caused by B. henselae and for the diagnosis of cat scratch disease. Symptoms a history of contact with a cat (or dog on rare occasion) with a scratch or injury.

Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) is also called Cat Scratch Fever and benign lymphoreticulosis. While CSD is found all over the world, it is an uncommon disease. One estimate by the Centers for Disease Control found that there were 2.5 cases of CSD per 100,000 people per year in the United States. While multiple cases of CSD in one household can occur, this situation is rare. A study in Florida found that more than one member of a family contracted CSD only 3.5% of the time. The majority of individuals who contract CSD are under the age of 17, and are usually under the age of 12. Symptoms Typically, a small skin lesion (resembling an insect bite) develops at the site of a cat scratch or (less commonly) a bite, followed within two weeks by swollen lymph nodes and sometimes a fever. The illness is mild and self-limiting in the majority of patients, although it may take some months for the swollen lymph nodes to return to normal. Treatment is usually not required.

Cat Scratch Disease Introduction Etiologic agent = Bartonella henselae As a clinical entity in humans, cat scratch disease (CSD) has been recognized since the early 1900's. However, identification of the etiologic agent has only recently been confirmed. In the late 1980's, a curved rod was identified in CSD lesions by silver staining, and this was the first hint to the etiology of CSD. Previously, everything from herpesviruses to Chlamydia and Pasteurella had been suggested as causes. Initial identification of this silver-staining agent as Afipia felis did not hold up in additional cases, either serologically or by bacterial culture. In 1992, Bartonella henselae was isolated from and identified by PCR in CSD lesions. Previously classified as Rochalimaea henselae , these are slightly curved, gram (-) rods. The Bartonella Rochalimaea and Afipia genera are all related phylogenetically to Rickettsia and Ehrlichia With this etiologic understanding, we can now link CSD to other diseases of humans caused by related Bartonella spp.
