Abstract

Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) caused by Bartonella henselae, is a self limited zoonotic disease that is relatively common among children and adolescents. The most typical clinical presentation is cervical or axillary lymphadenopathy. We present a case of a 12-year-old boy with CSD who complained of inguinal lymphadenopathy. The abdominal ultrasonography revealed microabscesses in the spleen. The serum B. henselae indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) IgG level was 1/2048. The patient was successfully treated with rifampicin and azithromycin. (J Pediatr Inf 2012; 6: 109-11)

Özet

Bartonella henselae’nın sebep olduğu kedi tırmığı hastalığı (KTH), genellikle adölesan ve çocuklarda görülen kendi kendini sınırlayan zoonotik bir hastalıktır. En tipik klinik başvuru şekli aksiller ve servikal lenfadenopatidir. Bu yazıda inguinal lenfadenopati ile başvuran 12 yaşında bir KTH olgusu sunulmuştur. Yapılan batın ultrasonografisiyle dalakta mikroapseler gösterilmiştir. Serumda B. henselae’ya karşı oluşan antikorlar indirekt immünofloresans antikor (IFA) yöntemi ile 1/2048 titrede pozitif saptanmıştır. Hasta oral rifampisin ve azitromisin ile başarıyla tedavi edilmiştir. (J Pediatr Inf 2012; 6: 109-11)
