Abstract

We observed a case of cat-scratch disease who was an 18-month-old boy with the chief complaint of generalized enlargement of lymphnodes. Clinical manifestations and patholcgic findings of a lymphnode were presented in detail. The diagnosis of cat-scratch disease in this case was made according to the criteria proposed by Carithers et al. and Margileth. A brief review of literature was made.
