Abstract
A 6-y-old girl developed fever, soft-tissue mass in the right chest wall, osteomyelitis of the 10th rib and hepatic granuloma. Cat scratch disease was diagnosed by histological examination of the mass and serological tests. The patient was treated successfully with antibiotics and recovered completely, as shown by a 10 month follow-up.Keywords
