翻译后摘要：猫抓病，肾移植患者很少报告的传染病，是由有机体巴尔通体henselae和通过接触猫或小猫传播。它是一般儿科人群中的一种自限性疾病。在这里，我们提出了一个意外的猫抓病的情况下，儿童肾移植患者谁提出了发烧和淋巴结病。阿奇霉素短期治疗8个月后，患者出现猫抓病复发。我们强调，对出现发热和淋巴结病的年轻免疫功能低下肾移植患者的评估应包括不寻常的感染，如猫抓病。我们回顾这种罕见的器官移植感染的诊断和治疗。
Abstract:Cat‐scratch disease, an infectious illness infrequently reported in kidney transplant patients, is caused by the organismBartonella henselaeand is transmitted through contact with cats or kittens. It is a self‐limited disorder in the general pediatric population. Here we present a case of unsuspected cat‐scratch disease in a pediatric kidney transplant patient who presented with fever and lymphadenopathy. Eight months after treatment with a short course of azithromycin, the patient developed a recurrence of cat‐scratch disease. We emphasize that the evaluation of a young immunocompromised kidney transplant patient presenting with fever and lymphadenopathy should include unusual infections such as cat‐scratch disease. We review the diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon infection in the organ transplant population.
