Outline Of The Workup Of Cervical Lymphadenopathy
Discuss the workup of cervical lymphadenopathy. How would your recommendations differ for adult, pediatric, and geriatric patients? Cervical
lymphadenopathy is the enlargement or swelling of the cervical lymph nodes. Cervical lymph nodes are the lymph nodes located at the anterior and
posterior aspect of the neck and under the jaw. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the neck is essential to formulate a differential diagnosis.
Cervical lymphadenopathy is not uncommon, especially in children and therefore differential diagnoses are broad (Lang, & Kansy, 2014). The causes
of cervical lymphadenopathy can be infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancy. What test would you do first and why? First and foremost,
thing to do when a patient comes with cervical lymphadenopathy is to get a detailed history. The history should include questions such as the onset of
lump; pain on lump; if the lump is unilateral or bilateral and other lumps present anywhere else in the body; any associated symptoms like fever,
cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, night sweats, weight loss, or poor appetite; and any recent foreign travel, upper respiratory
infection or TB exposure. It may be necessary to obtain a detailed sexual, smoking and drug abuse history. Next step is the physical examination by
palpating the nodes to assess the size, shape, matting and consistency (Mohseni et al., 2014). In addition, check for tenderness, mobility, erythema and
warmth. It is important to

Research Paper On Cat Scratch Disease
What is cat scratch disease? By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as subacute regional lymphadenitis or cat scratch
fever, is a common bacterial infection caused by Bartonella henselae. As one may deduce, infected cats are disease vectors and transmit the
bacteria, which is found in their saliva via bites or scratches. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of cats may be carriers of the microorganism
responsible for CSD and these cats may show no signs of infection. Occasionally, fleas, which are responsible for spreading the infection from one
cat to another may also transmit the disease to people. In addition to fleas, bites from infected ticks may also lead to disease transmission. Disease
history The first description of CSD may have been as early as 1889 by Henri Parinaud, who observed enlargement of the preauricular lymph nodes
with conjunctivitis. However, he did not make any association of his findings with cats and the clinical oculoglandular syndrome was only seen to
be present in a small number of patients with CSD. In 1931 doctors Debre and Semelaigne, observered a young boy with cat scratches and a
suppurating adenitis who tested negative for tuberculosis. This finding led them to search for a possible link to a feline transmitted disease. While
they were unable to find a link bacteriologically, they observed several more similar... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In their report, they were able to describe a broad spectrum of the clinical manifestations of the disease, which led to further investigations into CSD.
The microorganism implicated in CSD was first successfully isolated and cultured in 1988. Ultimately, the discovery of the etiologic agent for CSD
and its classification was considered a great success of contemporary microbiology. This allowed for understanding its pathogenesis and developing
effective means to diagnose, manage and prevent

sometimes have different color combined with their fur. They drink milk when they're babies, kept as pets, they want love and affection from their
owner to show that they care about them, when you pet them there's cat and sometimes dog hair everywhere. Some dogs and cats suffer from the
same intestinal worms and other things. They could both have ticks or a disease of some sort. They could be infected with tapeworms or
roundworms. Flea infections could kill the dog or cat. Infected cats have a higher chance of dying then dogs do. Common things between the two is
that they're both living, are breathing animals, and are carnivores. Cats and dogs are domesticated animals that people want to keep as pets. They

Typhus Research Paper
Typhus is a deadly disease. It is caused by infection, which comes from rickettsia bacteria. Fleas, lice, ticks, and mites transmit rickettsia bacteria
when they bite you. There are 3 types of Typhus. The 3 types are endemic, epidemic, and scrub. Epidemic Typhus is caused by lice, ticks, and body
louse. Endemic Typhus is caused by flea, rats, and cat flea. Scrub Typhus is caused by louse, mites, fleas, ticks, and lice. You can easily get scrub
Typhus in lice–infected areas. Once the bacteria is in the bloodstream, they continue to reproduce and grow. Typhus can last for 10–12 days at a time.

It was in so many camps, because Typhus occurs in regions of poverty, with close human contact, and not much sanitation. Those reasons are the
definition of concentration camps. There was a huge lack of medicine in those camps, so it kept spreading. This caused many people inside of the
camps to die slow, painful, and agonizing deaths. Many Jewish people lived in overcrowded spaces, and that made it spread even faster. There was
also much lack of healthcare, so they were forced to work while dying from Typhus, or get beaten to death for not being able to walk. "Typhus
outbreaks were at their worst in the ghettos and labor camps..." (Ushmm, Raoul Wallenberg Place, 5/31/18). While Jewish people were dying, Germans
had disinfection baths to protect themselves from getting the disease. Very rarely did people survive Typhus, because they had no treatment. It was
pretty much impossible not to get Typhus, because one person gets it, then their whole bunk would get it, then the whole camp, then they would get
transported to different camps, and it would spread even more. Typhus wasn't only in camps and ghettos though, because of the bacteria, it did

Pets can make our lives much happier. We must be very careful, though, when it comes to being hurt by a pet. Playful scratches and bites are common,

Animal Bites
The American Pet Association reports that there are about 150M dogs and cats living in the United States, with cats outnumbering dogs. Animal bites
are therefore very common in the US, with about two to five million people being affected each year, accounting for one percent of emergency room

Lymph nodes in the armpits may become swollen. You may lose sensation in the fingers or hand, as well as ability to move the hand or arm. Fever,
chills, sweating and loss of energy may also occur. These symptoms should send you to the emergency room or to your doctor's office. More serious
complications include meningitis (affecting the brain coverings) and sepsis (widespread or disseminated infection).
A recent study published in the Journal of Hand Surgery showed that about a third of patients who sought emergency treatment for cat bites needed to
stay in the hospital for further treatment of wound infections. Most of these cat bite victims were middle–aged women. Those who were bitten over the
wrist or other joints were the most likely to be hospitalized since antibiotic treatments failed to prevent infection. The joints are good breeding sites for
bacterial growth, and treatment usually involved flushing the wounds and removing infected tissues every other day, in addition to antibiotic treatment.
One patient reported washing her bitten wrist and applying antiseptic but was unable to move her wrist after a week, prompting her to seek further
treatment. She ended up spending eight weeks in the hospital and spending about $150,000 for medical bills.

Cat Scratch Disease Essay
Treatments for cat scratch disease By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Transmitted by the bite or scratch of a cat and occasionally by fleas or ticks, cat
scratch disease (CSD) is a common bacterial infection. It is caused by Bartonella henselae and has a high prevalence in humid and warm climates.
Children and adolescents are more likely than adults to have a higher risk of exposure. People who become infected present within 1 – 2 weeks with
mild infection at the site of inoculation, which is followed by proximal lymphadenopathy and possible systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia and
malaise. Diagnosis is made on the grounds of clinical history and symptoms in addition to serology (best initial test) and is supported by other
investigations, such as hematology and lymph node biopsy, if necessary. CSD is usually a self–limiting disease and as such generally only requires
symptomatic and conservative treatment in patients with a mild or moderate presentation. Analgesics and antipyretics may be administered as
necessary and applying localized heat to the affected lymph nodes may also be done. Patients with more severe presentations of CSD and... Show more

Those who are immunocompetent with any signs of systemic disease may be followed up in an outpatient clinic with a scheduled appointment several
weeks later to ensure that resolution of CSD lymphadenopathy has been achieved. However, a patient should seek medical attention if neurological
complications occur or if the lymphadenitis progressively enlarges. The latter could be a sign of something more sinister, such as a neoplasm. In
preventing CSD parents should instruct children to always exercise caution to avoid scratches and bites. Proper pet hygiene is also recommended to

Catch scratch fever disease is a bacterial infection caused by Bartonell henselae bacteria. This disease gets in name because people contract it from

In order to cause disease, pathogens must be able to enter the host body, adhere to specific host cells, invade and colonize host tissue, and inflict
damage on those tissues. Bartonella diseases of cats are vector–borne, whereas human Bartonella disease can be vector–borne or non–vector–borne,

This is the act of tufting up the fur along the animal's spine and tail and is a widely–recognized sign of aggression. Cats are known for their focused
stare and stiff body stance. They also perform a sharp twitching of their tails to provide a warning of their frustration and may even swat with the
paws. The most common sign of anger and fear in a cat is the vocalization of a hiss or a growl. This is usually the final warning that the cat is preparing
to attack.
Whenever aggressive behavior occurs, it is pertinent that the cause of the behavior is determined. There are several medical conditions that can result
in aggression. It is recommended that a veterinarian is contacted to rule out any serious complications that could be causing the unwanted behavior. If

Bacterial Infections of Humans Caused by Bites of Animals (NOT insects)
Introduction
Animal bites on humans may cause open wounds or even crushing injuries. Like us, all animals carry certain bacteria or viruses that can cause illness if
passed on to humans via the open wounds. The pathogen entry pathway for these zoonotic infections include bites or scratches, and direct contact
saliva or waste. These diseases bring about a considerable amount of inconvenience to humans and therefore, the greatest concerns are of young
children and immunocompromised patients. Children are especially susceptible to getting bitten and an adult supervision is always recommended
because their immune systems are still weak and an infection that might mildly ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fever, headaches and fatigue, and usually resolves without treatment. This is a mild disease that rarely leads to
long term complications.
Rabies
This is a critical illness contracted through the infected saliva of an animal. This disease has a long onset time and therefore, a vaccine following a
bite of a rabid animal is available. The early symptoms for rabies include fever and tingling at the site of infection. In the rare fatal cases, the virus can
cause acute inflammation of the brain. These domestic pets are common carriers of the virus. However, widespread immunization has been successful
in decreasing the chances of transmission of rabies from animals to humans.
Ringworms
Also known as tinea, is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungus found in soils and on the skin of pets. Children can get ringworms by touching
infected dogs and cats. Ringworm of the skin is usually a non–fatal, scaly round area with a raised red bumpy border and a clear center. Ringworm
infections are treated with antifungal or oral medications.
Toxocariasis
The parasitic roundworm Toxocara, resides in the intestines of dogs and cats. As such, the eggs of the worms are passed through the stools of the
animals, contaminating the soil where kids play. When a child accidentally takes in the contaminated soil, the eggs hatch in the intestine and spread to

The domesticated cat is usually given processed food and biscuits, but sometimes raw meat, so they don't have any purpose of hunting. However,
they do still possess the hunting instinct and will sometimes catch animals such as mice and small birds, but instead of eating their catch, they
usually play with it, sometimes whilst it is still alive. The Scottish wildcat has to hunt for its survival and will kill the prey instantly after it is
caught. The domesticated cat is more of a social animal as they often spend time with humans and animals, including other cats, however the Scottish
wildcat is solitary and very wary around humans. They are also very elusive and rare to see (as they are a nearly extinct species) unlike house cats,
which are very common. The domestic cat usually needs socialising when they are young so they will become used to interacting with humans and
this will influence this social behaviour. The wildcats won't have this socialising as they are solitary animals (they only meet with another wildcat
once a year to mate) and this will be a cause of the aggressive and wary behaviour around humans.
Aggressive behaviour is similar in both cats. They will raise their hackles, arch their backs and flatten their ears and then hiss or grow, which is
demonstrated in the two pictures. Both cats do this when they will feel threatened, but house cats will usually always fight and attack, however these
fights are rarely serious. The wildcat will only attack if the competitor doesn't back down or they feel they must and if they do attack, then they will

Pain relievers such as ibuprofen and naproxen can be taken as needed if necessary. If symptoms last anywhere from a month to two months this could
be a sign of infection. The point of infection happens when the disease has travelled to the bones, liver or other organs and may require antibiotics such
as azithromycin, clarithromycin, rifampin, trimethoprim – sulfamethoxazole or ciprofloxacin. Like with many other diseases Bartonella Henselae has
many preventative measures that can be followed to keep your family healthy. Hand washing with soap and water after handling your cat is a must.
Also, being gentle with the cat so that it doesn't play rough by scratching and biting is important. Seeing as the infection is transmitted via saliva it is
important that your cat does not lick your skin, eyes, mouth or any open cuts or wounds. Lastly, making sure to keep up with flea treatments for your

Cat Scratch Fever Research Paper
Cat scratch fever, also known as cat scratch disease (CSD), is given to human by cats. It can be contracted from a bite or scratch from a cat, it comes
from a bacterium known as Bartonella Henselae which is a gram–negative rod. About 40% of cats carry the disease but most of them are around the
age of 1 year old or younger. Kittens at this age are learning how to use their teeth and claws as ways to protect themselves or catch their prey. People
who have kittens are more likely to get it since the kittens tend to scratch and bite as a way of playing. Cats get the bacteria from either a bite from a
tick or from the feces of fleas on their skin. When a cat scratches or bites at a flea, the bacteria will either get stuck underneath their claws or in their
teeth, causing the cat to be infected with the bacteria. Cats can also get it from fighting or playing with a cat that is already infected with the disease.
Bartonella Henselae started showing up around 1992 along with a bacterium called Rochalimaea henslae. In 1981, Dr. Wear made the discovery of

3.1 The Spleen
The spleen is an organ of the immune system (lymphatic system). It function is filter the blood and maintain it in a healthy way. The spleen produces
two types of pulp to perform its function, the red and the white pulp (Goodenough & McGuire, 2014). The red pulp filters the damaged blood cells,
palates and foreign materials in the blood, so it recycles the blood. On other hand, the white pulp is composed from lymphocytes, macrophages and
plasma cells that help clean the blood. These two pulps work interchangeably to make sure the blood is filtered completely from any foreign materials
and dead cells.
Splenomegaly, which is the enlargement of the spleen, could happen due to four main causes, which were cancer, infection, liver or blood diseases
(Kuntz, 2006). An enlarged spleen causes hypersplenism; it is a process where the spleen increases the filtration process of the blood cells. This

Cat–Scratch Disease
Cat–scratch disease is a rare infection that can be passed to people through the scratch or bite of an infected cat. The infection causes a red bump at the
site of the bite or scratch. It may also cause swollen lymph glands and other symptoms.
In most cases, the infection is mild and does not cause serious problems. However, a more severe infection can develop in people with other illnesses
or problems that weaken their body's defense system (immune system).
CAUSES
This condition is caused by a type of bacteria called Bartonella henselae. These bacteria are present in the mouth or on the claws of cats.
SYMPTOMS
Common symptoms of this condition include:
A red and sore pimple or bump, with or without pus, on the skin where the cat ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Headache.
Sore throat.
DIAGNOSIS
This condition may be diagnosed based on your symptoms and history of a scratch or bite from a cat. Your health care provider will examine the skin
sore and look for swollen lymph glands. You may also have tests, such as:
Culture tests of any drainage or pus from the injury site.
Blood tests.
Removal of a tissue sample from a swollen lymph gland (biopsy) to be looked at under a microscope. This may be done to confirm the diagnosis and
to make sure a different infection or disease is not causing your illness.
TREATMENT
If the condition is mild, treatment may not be needed. You may be advised to take pain medicine and apply heat to the affected area. A more severe
infection can be treated with antibiotic medicine. People with immune system problems will usually be treated with antibiotics because they are at risk
for developing a severe infection. This includes people with HIV or AIDS, with an organ transplant, or who take medicines that may modify their
immune system.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) or cat scratch fever is a bacterial infection that most commonly spreads through cats. Cat scratch fever can only be
transmitted if a cat infected with Bartonella henselae licks an open wound or breaks the skin. CSD can also be spread through the mucous membranes.

case but overall CSD is a mild bacterial infection that can be easily controlled.
Symptoms of cat scratch fever includes bumps or blisters near infection site, swollen lymph nodes near infection site, fatigue, headaches, low grade
fevers, nausea, chills, and overall discomfort. Some of the more rare symptoms include loss of appetite, sore throat, and weight loss. Symptoms such

symptoms of the disease." (Springer US:n.p.,1985. Http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978–1–4613–2415–7_96. Springer US. Web.)
Bartonella henselae attacks the immune system of a human when infected, especially if the have a very weak immune system. If infected then the
doctor would perform a physical examination on the patient to check if the spleen is enlarged, and to have a blood test to check if it is anywhere else
in the body. Usually, Antibiotics work perfectly fine if

Ringworm Disease
Pets can make fantastic companions and fun playmates. Most pet owners are aware of the more disgusting parts of owning a furry loved one, such as
cleaning out the litter box, scrubbing up the occasional accident and enduring slobbery kisses. Unfortunately, these may not be the grossest things that
your pet can make you deal with. Pets can spread dangerous diseases that can sometimes be deadly if left untreated. Be aware of these diseases the
next time you are playing with your pet to keep you and your family safe.
1. Ringworm
A highly contagious fungal infection, ringworm is commonly found in cats and dogs. Animals with the infection normally have patches of missing hair
on their fur with red spots on their bare skin. In humans, a circular patch forms on the skin. It can be prevented by washing sheets twice a month in hot
water and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Tapeworms
Children are most susceptible to getting tapeworm from their four–legged friends because they are the least likely to wash their hands. Tapeworms are
spread through flea, so keeping your pet flea–free is the best prevention. In humans, tapeworms can cause weight loss, as the parasites attach
themselves to the intestines and digest the food that is eaten, diarrhea, stomach pain and vomiting.
9. Rabies
A rare, but extremely fatal, disease, rabies can be prevented by avoiding wild animals and getting your pet vaccinated. Symptoms in pets include
foaming of the mouth, staggering and behavioral changes. Humans who have been bitten by a rabid animal may experience itching by the bite, anxiety,
confusion and hallucinations. If your pet has symptoms, call animal control and stay away from them, because the disease is transmitted through saliva.
10. Hookworms
These parasites attach to your dogs' intestines and can kill them if they drink enough of their blood. The parasites are contracted through eggs in the
dogs' feces, so cleaning them up promptly will prevent them from hatching and attaching themselves to your dog or to

Here is a draft essay on how serious a cat bite can be:How Serious Can a Cat Bite Be?While cats are often affectionate and playful pets, their bites can sometimes cause serious issues if not properly treated. Many people do not realize the health risks associated with cat bites due to their smaller size compared to dogs. However, cat teeth and claws are well-suited for biting and scratching, and their bites can easily break the skin and become infected. Here are some reasons why cat bites should never be taken lightly:Infection risk: As with any break in the skin, cat bites carry a risk of infection if not cleaned and treated promptly. Cats' mouths contain a variety of

  • 1. Outline Of The Workup Of Cervical Lymphadenopathy Discuss the workup of cervical lymphadenopathy. How would your recommendations differ for adult, pediatric, and geriatric patients? Cervical lymphadenopathy is the enlargement or swelling of the cervical lymph nodes. Cervical lymph nodes are the lymph nodes located at the anterior and posterior aspect of the neck and under the jaw. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the neck is essential to formulate a differential diagnosis. Cervical lymphadenopathy is not uncommon, especially in children and therefore differential diagnoses are broad (Lang, & Kansy, 2014). The causes of cervical lymphadenopathy can be infections, autoimmune disorders, or malignancy. What test would you do first and why? First and foremost, thing to do when a patient comes with cervical lymphadenopathy is to get a detailed history. The history should include questions such as the onset of lump; pain on lump; if the lump is unilateral or bilateral and other lumps present anywhere else in the body; any associated symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, night sweats, weight loss, or poor appetite; and any recent foreign travel, upper respiratory infection or TB exposure. It may be necessary to obtain a detailed sexual, smoking and drug abuse history. Next step is the physical examination by palpating the nodes to assess the size, shape, matting and consistency (Mohseni et al., 2014). In addition, check for tenderness, mobility, erythema and warmth. It is important to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Research Paper On Cat Scratch Disease What is cat scratch disease? By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as subacute regional lymphadenitis or cat scratch fever, is a common bacterial infection caused by Bartonella henselae. As one may deduce, infected cats are disease vectors and transmit the bacteria, which is found in their saliva via bites or scratches. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of cats may be carriers of the microorganism responsible for CSD and these cats may show no signs of infection. Occasionally, fleas, which are responsible for spreading the infection from one cat to another may also transmit the disease to people. In addition to fleas, bites from infected ticks may also lead to disease transmission. Disease history The first description of CSD may have been as early as 1889 by Henri Parinaud, who observed enlargement of the preauricular lymph nodes with conjunctivitis. However, he did not make any association of his findings with cats and the clinical oculoglandular syndrome was only seen to be present in a small number of patients with CSD. In 1931 doctors Debre and Semelaigne, observered a young boy with cat scratches and a suppurating adenitis who tested negative for tuberculosis. This finding led them to search for a possible link to a feline transmitted disease. While they were unable to find a link bacteriologically, they observed several more similar... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In their report, they were able to describe a broad spectrum of the clinical manifestations of the disease, which led to further investigations into CSD. The microorganism implicated in CSD was first successfully isolated and cultured in 1988. Ultimately, the discovery of the etiologic agent for CSD and its classification was considered a great success of contemporary microbiology. This allowed for understanding its pathogenesis and developing effective means to diagnose, manage and prevent ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A cat's life expectancy is 12 –25 years and a dog is 7–20 years. So that means that cats are able to live longer then dogs. Cats and dogs have different habits, such as how cats don't like water.

They drink milk when they're babies, kept as pets, they want love and affection from their owner to show that they care about them, when you pet them there's cat and sometimes dog hair everywhere. Some dogs and cats suffer from the same intestinal worms and other things. They could both have ticks or a disease of some sort. They could be infected with tapeworms or roundworms. Flea infections could kill the dog or cat. Infected cats have a higher chance of dying then dogs do. Common things between the two is that they're both living, are breathing animals, and are carnivores. Cats and dogs are domesticated animals that people want to keep as pets.

Fleas, lice, ticks, and mites transmit rickettsia bacteria when they bite you. There are 3 types of Typhus. The 3 types are endemic, epidemic, and scrub. Epidemic Typhus is caused by lice, ticks, and body louse. Endemic Typhus is caused by flea, rats, and cat flea. Scrub Typhus is caused by louse, mites, fleas, ticks, and lice.

It was in so many camps, because Typhus occurs in regions of poverty, with close human contact, and not much sanitation. Those reasons are the definition of concentration camps. There was a huge lack of medicine in those camps, so it kept spreading. This caused many people inside of the camps to die slow, painful, and agonizing deaths. Many Jewish people lived in overcrowded spaces, and that made it spread even faster. There was also much lack of healthcare, so they were forced to work while dying from Typhus, or get beaten to death for not being able to walk. "Typhus outbreaks were at their worst in the ghettos and labor camps..." (Ushmm, Raoul Wallenberg Place, 5/31/18). While Jewish people were dying, Germans had disinfection baths to protect themselves from getting the disease. Very rarely did people survive Typhus, because they had no treatment. It was pretty much impossible not to get Typhus, because one person gets it, then their whole bunk would get it, then the whole camp, then they would get transported to different camps, and it would spread even more.

  • 6. Essay on How Serious Can a Cat Bite Be? Pets can make our lives much happier. We must be very careful, though, when it comes to being hurt by a pet. Playful scratches and bites are common, but some of these bites can become serious and cause complications. Animal Bites The American Pet Association reports that there are about 150M dogs and cats living in the United States, with cats outnumbering dogs. Animal bites are therefore very common in the US, with about two to five million people being affected each year, accounting for one percent of emergency room visits.

You may lose sensation in the fingers or hand, as well as ability to move the hand or arm. Fever, chills, sweating and loss of energy may also occur. These symptoms should send you to the emergency room or to your doctor's office. More serious complications include meningitis (affecting the brain coverings) and sepsis (widespread or disseminated infection). A recent study published in the Journal of Hand Surgery showed that about a third of patients who sought emergency treatment for cat bites needed to stay in the hospital for further treatment of wound infections. Most of these cat bite victims were middle–aged women. Those who were bitten over the wrist or other joints were the most likely to be hospitalized since antibiotic treatments failed to prevent infection. The joints are good breeding sites for bacterial growth, and treatment usually involved flushing the wounds and removing infected tissues every other day, in addition to antibiotic treatment. One patient reported washing her bitten wrist and applying antiseptic but was unable to move her wrist after a week, prompting her to seek further treatment. She ended up spending eight weeks in the hospital and spending about $150,000 for medical bills.

  • 7. Cat Scratch Disease Essay Treatments for cat scratch disease By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Transmitted by the bite or scratch of a cat and occasionally by fleas or ticks, cat scratch disease (CSD) is a common bacterial infection. It is caused by Bartonella henselae and has a high prevalence in humid and warm climates. Children and adolescents are more likely than adults to have a higher risk of exposure. People who become infected present within 1 – 2 weeks with mild infection at the site of inoculation, which is followed by proximal lymphadenopathy and possible systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia and malaise. Diagnosis is made on the grounds of clinical history and symptoms in addition to serology (best initial test) and is supported by other investigations, such as hematology and lymph node biopsy, if necessary. CSD is usually a self–limiting disease and as such generally only requires symptomatic and conservative treatment in patients with a mild or moderate presentation. Analgesics and antipyretics may be administered as necessary and applying localized heat to the affected lymph nodes may also be done. Patients with more severe presentations of CSD and...

Those who are immunocompetent with any signs of systemic disease may be followed up in an outpatient clinic with a scheduled appointment several weeks later to ensure that resolution of CSD lymphadenopathy has been achieved. However, a patient should seek medical attention if neurological complications occur or if the lymphadenitis progressively enlarges. The latter could be a sign of something more sinister, such as a neoplasm. In preventing CSD parents should instruct children to always exercise caution to avoid scratches and bites. Proper pet hygiene is also recommended to prevent flea and tick infestations. Treating cats with antibiotics may also be done, but has not shown to reduce the risk of transmission to ...
