Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is caused by Bartonella henselae bacteria. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for managing this cat-transmitted infection, preventing complications.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Bacteriology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is an infection caused by the gram-negative bacterium Bartonella henselae.
  • Transmission occurs through inoculation via a cat scratch or bite.
  • CSD typically presents as regional lymphadenitis, often in the cervical area, which can progress to suppuration.

Observation:

  • A case of localized, suppurative cervical lymphadenitis following close contact with a cat is presented.
  • Bartonella henselae was identified, confirming the diagnosis of CSD.
  • The patient's condition resolved successfully after surgical drainage.

Findings:

  • Bartonella henselae is the causative agent of cat-scratch disease.
  • Serological confirmation aids in diagnosing CSD.

  • Surgical drainage is an effective treatment for suppurative lymphadenitis in CSD.

    • Implications:

    • Dental professionals may encounter patients with CSD symptoms.
    • Awareness of CSD symptomatology can prevent misdiagnosis and unnecessary dental procedures.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment facilitate early resolution of cat-scratch disease.
