Cat scratch disease (CSD) was first described in 1950 as a benign regional lymphadenitis. This infection is caused byBartonella henselae. The clinical range of CSD has expanded beyond the classic presentation. In 5%–20% of the infected patients the disease may spread to other organs. However, neurological complications associated with CSD are rare, with encephalopathy being by far the most common form (90%) of nervous system involvement. Encephalopathy occurs in 2%–3% of patients and is more common in adults than in children with the onset varying from a few days to months after diagnosis of CSD.1 Other known neurological manifestations, often in combination with encephalopathy, are neuroretinitis, oculoglandular disease of Parinaud, myelopathy, radiculopathy or abducens nerve, and facial nerve paresis. We report on a 3 year old boy who developed chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) 6 weeks after identification of CSD.
