[Splenic lesions during benign inoculation lymphoreticulosis].

Abstract

The authors describe the fibro-granulomatous lesions with scar formation on a splenectomy specimen removed for familial spherocytosis, eight weeks after the onset of cat scratch disease. This original observation, apparently unique in the literature, is in favour of the blood spread of the agent responsible for benign inoculation lymphoreticulosis, and suggests a pathogenic theory for the unusual visceral manifestations.
