Minor scratches by cats are dangerous. Cats can transmit rabies and cat scratch fever virus, of which rabies is a more serious disease with an incubation period of 1-3 months and a very high death rate once rabies symptoms appear. Therefore, whenever a cat scratches, regardless of the severity should be given sufficient attention. Therefore, to avoid serious consequences, cat scratches should be immediately rinsed with soap and running water for 15 minutes, and then disinfected with iodophor and alcohol. If there is no bleeding after being scratched by a cat and the skin is not broken, it is considered a Class II exposure and only rabies vaccination is required. If there is bleeding after being scratched by a cat, rabies immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine are required. Rabies immune globulin is usually calculated based on the patient’s weight and the amount injected will vary for each individual. Multiple injections of the vaccine are required and it is recommended that you attend your appointments on time.
