摘要
Report on the appearance of itching but initially unimpressive small papules, than of large and tight, partially excoriated bladders which were accompanied by heavy pruritus and pain in a 51-year-old woman. Not till the patient approved the question whether she has her own but free running cat, the infestation with cat fleas was diagnosed. Large amounts of the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis were found at the flat of the woman. It is reported on the detection of fleas at her domestic environment, on differential diagnostics, on treatment of the patient, and on cleaning up the flat.
