Cat-scratch disease was originally described by Robert Dbre of France in 1950.
The incidence of the disease in Japan is considered to be rare. The author reported on a 12-year-old female who was scratched by a cat and subsequently developed swelling of a cervical lymph node.
Blood examinations revealed an acceleration of the blood sedimentation rate and an increased ASLO titer.
The lymph node removed surgically showed scattered suppurative and necrotic changes on the cut surfaces. Microscopically the sections showed a typical picture of cat-scratch disease.
