Oculoglandular syndrome. Cat-scratch disease without the cat scratch.
Oculoglandular syndrome and swelling of the parotid gland are unusual manifestations of cat-scratch disease. Although exposure to cats is considered an important part of the patient history, an actual cat scratch is not required to establish the diagnosis. Oral fluoroquinolones show promise in the treatment of the infection.
