Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a relatively common entity, particularly in children. The most common sites of involvement are the axillary lymph nodes, followed by cervical, pre-auricular and submandibular lymph nodes. We present a case of cat-scratch disease in which the initial clinical features were indistinguishable from those of acute bacterial tonsillitis with jugulodigastric lymphadenopathy. This previously unreported apparent mode of presentation is discussed with reference to the current understanding of the disease.

Pasteurella is one of the zoonotic pathogens that can cause variety of serious infections in animals and humans such as bacteremia, septic shock, endocarditis, meningitis, prosthetic and native valve infections, osteomyelitis, skin and soft tissue infections, abscesses, and even pneumonia with empyema.

We present a case of recurrent Pasteurella glossitis after a cat scratch which has not been reported in humans.
