Abstract

Cat Scratch Disease is a slow progressing and benign disease caused by Bartonella Henselae. Lymphadenitis and dermal lesions have usually been the clinical presentations of the disease. In most patients' history, there may be handling a cat. However, conflicting clinical findings with uncertain history and symptoms may be present which consequently cause misdiagnosis. Here, we present a patient we evaluated for axillary lymphadenopathies suggesting other diseases than cat scratch disease but surprisingly diagnosed as cat scratch disease after pathologic examination.

Özet

Kedi Tırmığı Hastalığı Bartonella Henselae tarafından oluşturulan, yavaş ilerleyen ve benign bir hastalıktır. Lenfadenopati ve dermal lezyonlar hastalığın klinik oluşumunda sıkça görülür. Birçok hastanın hikayesinde bir kediye dokunma vardır. Ne var ki, teşhis için yanılgılara neden olabilecek belirsiz hikaye ile karışık klinik bulgular ve belirtiler olabilir. Bu sunumda, aksiller lenfadenopatileri olan ve başka hastalıkları düşündüren fakat patolojik olarak kedi tırmığı hastalığının teşhis edildiği bir hasta bildirilmiştir.
