The current status of cat-scratch disease: an update.

Service de Bactériologie-Virologie, Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, France.

Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a benign inoculative lymphoreticulosis, first described in independent reports by Pierre Mollaret [1] and Robert Debre in 1950 [2]. The disease usually self-limited, with spontaneous resolution occurring after several weeks, appears to be related to the presence of an identified gram-negative bacteria.
