Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic infection caused by Bartonella henselae.
  • CSD presents as a benign, chronic illness with a low incidence rate.
  • The disease typically follows contact with infected cats, often via scratches.

Observation:

  • A fourteen-year-old male presented with symptoms including fever, fatigue, and joint pain.
  • Imaging revealed an enlarged liver and multiple splenic abscesses.
  • Serological tests confirmed elevated IgG titers for Bartonella henselae.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with cat scratch disease.
  • Splenic abscesses were identified as a significant manifestation.
  • Antibiotic therapy proved effective in resolving the infection.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering CSD in pediatric patients with unexplained fever and splenic lesions.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment can lead to successful outcomes without surgical intervention.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of CSD-related complications is warranted.
