This article is mostly written in first person and thus needs to be totally cleaned up. scazza 20:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Removing reference to Ted Nugent's song from Signs and Symptoms section, since it is already referenced at the top of the article. Sleet01 20:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] can't be a parasite and a bacteria, can it?

[edit] Questsions

What is the history of the discovery of the infectious etiology of this disease? Who first thought it was caused by Afipia felis and who subsequently proved that Cat-Scratch Fever is caused by Bartonella henselae and Bartonella clarridgeiae? ReasonableLogicalMan(Talk 20:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some qualification for severe cases

I had an associate who experienced severe reactions to a cat scratch that had permanent effects on his health and his memory. The tone of the article at the moment seems to suggest the prognosis is "generally favorable" without commenting on more severe possibilities. Could someone speak to this?
