Inguinal bubo due to cat-scratch disease.
A case of suppurative inguinal bubo due to cat-scratch disease in a young Caucasian man is described. The bubo was thought to have followed a laceration on the leg that occurred while the man was working in a slaughterhouse. The evidence for cat-scratch disease is considered, and its differentiation from other possible diagnoses, in particular lymphogranuloma venereum, is discussed.
