Abstract
We report five cases of cat-scratch disease encephalopathy (CSDE), wit h a brief review of the literature in English, in which only 96 patien ts of CSDE have been described up to the present. The Gram-negative ba cilli demonstrated by Warthin-Starry or Dieterle silver stains are reg arded as the causative agent of CSDE. Administration of antibiotics is recommended. The onset of CSDE is usually acute and the prognosis fav orable.
