[2 patients with atypical manifestations of cat-scratch disease].

In 2 boys aged 8 years and 10 months, respectively, uncommon manifestations of cat scratch disease were seen. The first patient had acute encephalopathy: coma and generalized tonic-clinic convulsions. The second patient was presented with fever and peripheral lymphadenopathy in combination with hypodense lesions in the liver on ultrasound. Diagnosis was established on the clinical picture and the positive results of serological testing of antibody titres for Bartonella henselae. Both patients recovered completely within 2 months.
