Recently, the 19th Ward of the Aerospace City Campus of Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital) admitted a patient with rapid vision decline. However, multiple examinations were conducted but the cause could not be found. But this is not difficult for our experienced expert.

Popular science cat scratch disease is also called benign lymphoreticosis. This condition is mostly caused by infectious diseases caused by contact with some cats and dogs, and being scratched or bitten by them, resulting in infection with Hansebatong. As the name suggests, it is a kind of lymphadenitis caused by "cat scratch". In fact, it is not that simple. In addition to cat scratches, dogs, rabbits, monkeys, pigs, cows, and plant thorns, wood chips, fish bones and other stab injuries have been reported. People are generally susceptible to infection, and infections in children and adolescents are relatively common. The typical symptoms of hansebatonin infection are erythema, papules, local lymph nodes, and some patients may experience systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia and fatigue.

Some people will experience central system infection, such as encephalitis or meningitis.

Some patients will also experience some unusual symptoms: such as ocular syndrome (conjunctivitis with palpable preauricular lymph nodes), neurological symptoms (brain lesions, acute attacks, neuroretinitis, myelitis, lower body paralysis, cerebral arteritis), and liver and spleen granulomatosis.

Other rare symptoms include erythematosus nodules, bone marrow lysis injury, and thrombocytopenic purpura.

The above patient is the retinal damage to the optic nerve in the left eye fundus caused by cat scratch disease. The cause of the disease can be determined and the right medicine can be prescribed. After consultation by the doctor in the hospital, antibiotics are used to shorten the course of inflammation. The patient will be relieved quickly and will still need to continue taking medication after discharge.
