TERMINOLOGY
Definitions
- Cat-scratch disease (CSD): Spectrum of clinical manifestations resulting from Bartonella henselae inoculation of skin by cat scratch
- "Typical CSD" (most common clinical presentation): Tender regional adenopathy + fever 1-3 weeks after inoculation
- Papule at scratch site may be 1st clue
- Self-limited in most patients
- Disseminated disease in 5-14%
