Özet
Kedi tırmığı hastalığı, Bartonella henselae’nin neden olduğu, zoonotik bir infeksiyon hastalığıdır. 20 yaşında kadın hasta, ateş, sol kolda kızarıklılık, ağrı ve şişlik şikayetleriyle polikliniğimize başvurdu. Yara çevresinde palpasyonla krepitasyon alınan hastaya yapılan lenf bezi biyopsisi ile kedi tırmığı hastalığı teşhisi konuldu. Medikal tedavi ile düzeldikten 2 yıl sonra şikâyetleri tekrarlayan hasta tekrarlayan kedi tırmığı hastalığı düşünülerek servisimize yatırıldı. Hastaya medikal tedavi verildi ve şifa ile taburcu edildi. Bu olgu, farklı klinik tablosu ve rekürrensi nedeniyle sunulmuştur.
