Cat scratch disease (CSD)'s lymphadenitis may have a protracted course with painful suppuration necessitating several needle aspirations or surgical drainage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the benefit of an intra-nodal injection of gentamicin add-on oral azithromycin treatment on the outcome of suppurated CSD's lymphadenitis.We performed a retrospective monocentric study including 51 consecutive patients diagnosed between Jan 2009 and Mar 2014 with suppurated CSD who had a positive PCR for Bartonella henselae DNA in pus collected from lymph node by needle aspiration, and who were treated with azithromycin.Among them, 26/51 patients (51 %) received oral azithromycin only, of whom 8 patients (31 %) were cured and 18 patients (69 %) had complications, while 25/51 patients (49 %) received an intra-nodal injection of gentamicin add-on oral azithromycin, of whom 16 patients (64 %) were cured and 9 patients (36 %) had complications. In univariate analysis, the combined treatment was the only variable related to cure without complications (64 versus 31 %, p = 0.01), but this difference did not remain statistically significant in multivariate analysis (OR = 3.84, 95 % CI: 0.95-15.56, p = 0.06).Intra-nodal injection of gentamicin add-on oral azithromycin treatment might improve the outcome of patients with suppurated CSD's lymphadenitis, deserving further randomized studies.
