Abstract

Cat-scratch disease is a human infection caused by Bartonella henselae, a small pleomorphic Gram- negative bacilli. Most patients have had contact with cats. Cat-scratch disease appears to be more com- mon among children. Here, we describe a 15-year- old boy who presented with tender, axillary lymph- adenopathy and was diagnosed with cat-scratch disease despite no contact with cats. Following intravenous ampicillin-sulbactam and amikacin, there was no improvement in symptoms. The Bartonella henselae IFA test was 1/1024. Azithromycin therapy was given for 10 days. During follow-up, an improve- ment in lymph node size was seen after treatment. We report this case to emphasize the importance of considering cat-scratch disease in the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy in children even if there has been no contact with cats.

Özet

Kedi tırmığı hastalığı, gram negatif bir basil olan Bartonella henselae’nın neden olduğu bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın doğal rezervuarı kedilerdir; hastaların %90’dan fazlasında yakın zamanda kedi ile temas öyküsü olup olguların çoğu 20 yaşından küçüktür. Bu yazıda kedi ile temas öyküsü olmayan, ağrılı aksiller lenfadenopati yakınması ile başvuran ve kedi tırmığı hastalığı tanısı konulan 15 yaşında bir çocuk hasta sunulmaktadır. Lenfadenit nedeniyle hastaneye yatırı- lan hastaya intravenöz ampisilin-sulbaktam ve amika- sin tedavileri başlandı. Antibiyotik tedavisi alıyorken lenf nodu boyutunda artış ve ağrı şikayeti devam etti. Tularemi, tüberküloz, brusella ve salmonella dışlandı. Kedi tırmalama veya ısırma hikayesi olmadığı halde istenen Bartonella henselae IFA testi 1/1024 titrede pozitif bulundu. Hasta 10 günlük oral azitromisin tedavisiyle taburcu edildi. Kontrolünde lenfadenopati- sinin düzeldiği saptandı. Bu olgu daha çok çocukluk çağında görülen kedi tırmığı hastalığının, ağrılı lenfa- denopatisi olan çocuklarda kedi tırmalama veya ısır- ma öyküsü olmasa da ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulması gerektiğini vurgulamak için sunulmuştur.
