摘要
Erythema nodosum rarely occurs in childhood and can be caused by cat scratch disease, as a result of agent Bartonella henselae. We report the case of a teenager who presented erythema nodosum and bilateral inguinal adenitis. Cat scratch disease diagnosis was confirmed by anti-Bartonella henselae serologies. Despite an appropriate antibiotic therapy, evolution was unfavourable with adenitis abcedation requiring surgical drainage. Conclusion. - Erythema nodosum in children must let think to cat scratch disease among others etiologies. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS.
