Anyone had any experience with that?

I am waiting in my hotelroom for a doctor and did some research on the internet and it says that if it's a bad form you could die of it


Any information would be very appreciated.

The first time that I got it I was just ten years old. I got it from some kitty next door. I went and see the Dr. and he gave me the cure. I think I got it some more.

just googled it, dosent sound life-threatening, hope all goes well!

lymphoreticulosis benigna Kattekrabziekte
goedaardige, regionaire chronische lymfklierontsteking, veroorzaakt door onbekend virus, dat wordt overgebracht door de krab van een kat of door enig ander geïnfecteerd scherp voorwerp

Cat scratch disease

This acute infectious skin disease, also named felinosis or lymphoreticulosis benigna, occurs in human patients who have been scratched or bitten by cats (which do not fall ill). Felinosis presents with tender regional lymphadenopathy, sterile suppurative papules at the site of inoculation, slight fever, headache and malaise. The pathogen belongs to the bacterial genus Bartonella, which is distributed worldwide and is also transmissible by fleas.


Beterschap!!

Thanks for the replies

The doctor just left and it's not cat scratch disease but Impatigo.

So I now got some medicines that should start working very soon.

I'm a bit like because I am here to train people here and now I am in a laying in bed in a very nice hotel in Capetown

Thanx Jurgen

It was a bit funny this morning when the doctor told me it was not cat scratch disease but Impatigo…since I was feverish I didn’t understand him well and thought he said it was Imago

Anyway I look like a leprous now with the infection, it’s on my chin
