Cat-Scratch Disease By Ashley Beamon

What Is it? Cat scratch disease is an infection with Bartonella bacteria that is believed to be transmitted by cat scratches and bites. (Bartonella- cause several diseases in humans. The three most common are cat scratch disease, trench fever, and Carrión's disease.)

Symptoms Bump or blister at site of bite or scratch Fatigue Fever ( only in some patients) Head ache Swelling of lymph nods

Tests and Exams If you have swollen lymph nods and a scratch or bite from a cat, your health care provider may suspect cat scratch disease. A physical examination may reveal an enlarged spleen. A lymph nod biopsy may also be done to look for other causes of swollen glands. Before After

Treatment Generally, cat scratch disease is not serious. Medical treatment may not be needed. In some cases, treatment with antibiotics such as azithromycin can be helpful. Azithromycin- used to treat certain bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. In AIDs patients and other people who have a weakened immune system, cat scratch disease is more serious, and treatment with antibiotics is recommended.
