HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED?

 

The skin lesions of cat scratch disease can sometimes be confused with those of Kaposi's sarcoma. Definitive diagnosis generally requires a biopsy (sampling of tissue) for microscopic examination and culture. Occasionally blood cultures or a serologic test for Bartonella are useful for establishing the diagnosis.
