Cats may be source of pathogens causing various infectious diseases, including bartonellosis, also called cat scratch disease – CSD.
CSD is caused by the bacterium Bartonella henselae, and may be associated with severe lymphadenitis. We present case studies
of severe lymphadenitis and discuss difficulties of differential diagnosis of lymph node enlargement in children.

Keywords: bartonellosis, cat, lymphadenitis
