Cat Scratch Disease in Connecticut -- Epidemiology, Risk Factors, and Evaluation of a New Diagnostic Test

Abstract: Cat scratch disease is strongly associated with owning a kitten, and fleas may be involved in its transmission. The serologic test for rochalimaea may be useful diagnostically, and our results suggest an etiologic role for this genus.

“…Although the climate in Thailand is hot and humid throughout the year, the positive rate of B. henselae in apparently healthy individuals was almost the same as the prevalence in other countries [1,5,8,17,18,[20][21][22]. The exception is a report showing a high incidence (30%) in healthy German individuals [19].…”

Furthermore, serological investigations strongly suggested that B. henselae is a causative agent of CSD [25,31] and the organism was isolated from typical CSD patients in immunocompetent status [10].…”
