What Causes Fever Along With Headache And Swelling In The Armpits?

Sandra presents to her physician complaining of fever, headache, and painful swellings in her armpits. During the physical examination, the doctor notices that her hands are covered with scratches. He asks about these, and Sandra says they’re from a kitten that she found wandering along a country road 2 weeks earlier and adoptedas a pet. What disorder do you think her physician might suspect?
