We report a case of fourteen years old boy with cat scratch disease. He was treated at Pediatric Clinic in January and February 2000. Cat scratch disease is benign infectious chronic disease which appears in all ages. It begins after contact with cat and its scratch. Yearly incidence of this disease for whole population is 0.77-0.86/100.000. The cause is bacillus Bartonella which is also called genus Rochalimaea. It is Gram negative, mobile, aerobe bacillus with ten flagellas on one pole. Our patient was admitted at hospital because of high temperature, paleness, fatigue, bad appetite and pains in his joint. Ultrasound and magnet resonance scans of liver and spleen showed enlarged but regulary contured liver and two focal changes with diameter 16 mm, 12 mm and 7 mm in spleen. All those focal changes were described as abscesses. Diagnose was set up according increasing titre of IF-Bartonella hensalae IgG 1:256 (positive). This diagnostic test was performed at Institute for microbiology and Immunology at Medical Faculty in Ljubljana. Disease had long lasting course, and was cured by antibiotics without surgical intervention.

Cat scratch disease is an infectious disorder transmitted by cats that typically affects children and young adults. Immunosuppression is a well-known risk factor for the development of severe and atypical forms of the disease; hence it is under-diagnosed in patients with compromised immunity. We are reporting the first case of cat scratch disease, which presented as fever and fatigue, in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus while receiving immunosuppressant therapy after a kidney transplant.

Cat scratch disease is known to be a generally benign, self-resolving illness associated with non-specific symptoms, including lymphadenopathy, fever, fatigue, anorexia, and headaches. However, it can also cause disseminated disease with a wide range of manifestations, including liver and spleen microabscesses, osteomyelitis, encephalitis, and uveitis. Eighteen pediatric cases of disseminated cat scratch disease at a single center in Hawai'i are described. This case series emphasizes the importance of disease recognition and use of appropriate diagnostic tools and disease management. The disease burden of pediatric patients with disseminated cat scratch disease in the state of Hawai'i has a high incidence and should be considered in pediatric patients with prolonged febrile illnesses.
