Approximately 24,000 people are infected with cat scratch disease (CSD) every year. CSD is caused by the bacteria Bartonella henselae, a gram-negative bacteria most often transmitted to humans through a bite or scratch from an infected cat or kitten. Although CSD is often a benign and self-limiting condition, it can affect any major organ system in the body, manifesting in different ways and sometimes leading to lifelong sequelae. It is a disease that is often overlooked in primary care because of the wide range of symptom presentation and relative rarity of serious complications. It is important for health care providers to recognize patients at risk for CSD, know what laboratory testing and treatments are available, and be aware of complications that may arise from this disease in the future.
每年约有24000人感染猫抓病（CSD）。猫抓病由汉赛巴尔通体细菌引起，这是一种革兰氏阴性菌，最常通过受感染的猫或小猫的咬伤或抓伤传播给人类。虽然猫抓病通常是一种良性的自限性疾病，但它可影响身体的任何主要器官系统，表现形式各异，有时会导致终身后遗症。由于症状表现范围广泛且严重并发症相对罕见，这种疾病在初级保健中常常被忽视。对于医疗保健提供者来说，识别有猫抓病风险的患者、了解可用的实验室检测和治疗方法以及意识到该疾病未来可能出现的并发症非常重要。
