Abstract

Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a benign inoculative lymphoreticulosis, first described in independent reports by Pierre Mollaret [1] and Robert Debre in 1950 [2]. The disease usually self-limited, with spontaneous resolution occurring after several weeks, appears to be related to the presence of an identified gram-negative bacteria.
