Sara's doc was sure she had mono and started treating her for that. It was several days before the test results came back negative. Then he started treating her for something else. Again, it was days before the tests results came back. He ruled out everything he could think of and in the process, Sara became sicker and sicker. She was so sick, that I wondered at one point if she would actually survive. As soon as they diagnosed her with cat scratch fever and got her on the right medicine, we saw immediate improvement.
This illness must be very rare, as my doctor said it was his very first case.
