A member asked:

Is it possible for cat scratch fever papules to show up days after the scratch?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you think you may have cat scratch disease let your doctor look at the eruption. Antibiotic therapy early in the course will interrupt the sequence of events and prevent the further development of problems.
