Abstract

Superficial adenopathy is the most common symptom of catscratch disease (CSD) attributed to Bartonella henselae infection. More complicated adenopathy with pulmonary involvement can occur. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy with pleural symptoms related to B henselae-associated CSD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
