Abstract
The epidemiology and clinical morphology of a rare skin disease - cat scratch disease (phelinosis) are described, based on a review of 16 publications, and a clinical case observation is presented. A female patient aged 72 years developed phelinosis 2 weeks after scratches were inflicted by a stray kitten. A papule appeared on the right forearm at the site of scratches, which was followed by enlargement of the lymph node in the right armpit. Examinations of the patient revealed changes in the right mammary gland, which had to be differentiated from cancer. Antibodies (IgM) to Bartonella henselae and Borrelia burgdorferi in high titer (1:512) were detected by enzyme immunoassay. Erythromycin therapy led to regression of the process.
