Can cat scratch fever come back?


my daughter had cat scratch fever about 4yrs ago and now has all the same symptoms as she did before can the disease come back?

Cat-scratch disease is infection caused by Bartonella henselae. Symptoms are a local papule and regional lymphadenitis. Diagnosis is clinical and confirmed by biopsy. Treatment is with local heat application and analgesics. Consult your doctor regarding the recurrence of the disease.
Please see the web pages for more details on Cat-scratch disease.

I guess.
