    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Cat scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious illness typically caused by Bartonella henselae.
    • The differential diagnosis of CSD can be challenging, especially when atypical presentations occur.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old woman developed umbilicated papules at sites of recent cat scratches.
    • The skin lesions closely resembled those seen in herpetic infections.

    Findings:

    • The clinical presentation prompted speculation regarding a potential role of herpes viruses in this specific case of CSD.
    • Review of 72 reported cases in Japan provides a broader epidemiological context.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering diverse etiologies in the diagnosis of CSD.
  • Further research may be warranted to explore potential viral co-infections or atypical presentations of CSD.
