The probability of getting rabies after being scratched by a cat

If the patient is scratched by a cat, the probability of getting rabies in this case is very low, generally between 1% and 2% probability. However, if the rabies virus infection causes a rabies attack, the mortality rate can reach 100%, so it is recommended that patients must pay attention to the prevention of this disease, because this disease can only be prevented but not treated, once infected with rabies virus, this time through any form of treatment can not save the life of the patient, so it is recommended that patients must pay attention to. If you are scratched by a cat, you must go to the hospital promptly for a rabies vaccination to prevent rabies infection. In general rabies virus inoculation must be carried out within 24 hours after the scratch, if the 24 hours is not timely myoinjection, it is recommended that the later must be timely supplementation, because the earlier the injection is carried out once the scratch, the better the effect of the preventive injection.
