Familial occurrence of cat-scratch disease, with varying clinical expression

Alice Tung Wan Song et al. Scand J Infect Dis. 2007.

Abstract

Cat-scratch disease, primarily caused by Bartonella henselae, typically presents with regional adenopathy, and the role of antibiotics in the treatment is debatable. We present a report of B. henselae infection transmitted by the same kitten to 4 different individuals, each with different clinical characteristics, treatment, and evolution.
