建立了一个前瞻性的以人群为基础的监测系统，以描述康涅狄格州居民中猫抓病（CSD）的流行病学特征，这些居民向州卫生部门报告了疑似CSD的诊断。1992年和1993年期间，有246人符合病例定义，全州年平均发病率为3.7/100，000人。CSD患者的中位年龄为14岁（范围1-64岁），52%为女性。10岁以下人群的特定年龄发病率最高（9.3/100 000），并随着年龄的增长而下降。74%的病例患者除腺病外还有其他症状。11%的病人住院治疗。无死亡病例。大多数临床诊断为CSD的患者对巴尔通体属产生了免疫应答。我们的数据表明，虽然CSD主要是一种年轻人的疾病，但年龄谱比通常所认识的要广。
A prospective population-based surveillance system was established to characterize the epidemiology of cat-scratch disease (CSD) among residents of Connecticut who were reported to the state health department with a diagnosis of suspected CSD. During 1992 and 1993, 246 persons met the case definition, for an average statewide annual incidence of 3.7/100,000 persons. The median age of patients with CSD was 14 years (range, 1-64), and 52% were female. The age-specific attack rate was highest among persons < 10 years of age (9.3/100,000) and decreased with increasing age. Symptoms in addition to adenopathy were noted by 74% of case-patients. Eleven percent of all case-patients were hospitalized. There were no deaths. Most patients with clinically diagnosed CSD developed an immunologic response to Bartonella species. Our data suggest that although CSD is primarily a disease of younger persons, the age spectrum is wider than was commonly appreciated.
