An infection of the lymph nodes following a scratch or bite from a cat.
Cat scratch disease is caused by Bartonella henselae bacteria.

What Is Cat-Scratch Fever? Cat-scratch fever is an infection caused by a kind of bacteria called Bartonella henselae (it's also sometimes called Bartonella henselae infection). You can get it if a cat that has this type of bacteria licks an open wound on your skin or bites or scratches you.

Although rare, CSD can cause people to have serious complications. CSD can affect the brain, eyes, heart, or other internal organs. These rare complications, which may require intensive treatment, are more likely to occur in children 5-14 years of age and people with weakened immune systems.

Most cases of cat-scratch disease are self-limited and do not require antibiotic therapy. If an antibiotic is chosen to treat cat-scratch disease, azithromycin (Zithromax) appears to be effective at reducing the duration of lymphadenopathy.
