It is difficult to accurately estimate the incidence of rabies disease from cat scratches, and since rabies infection in cats cannot be determined, it is also difficult to make a precise projection of the chances of infection in humans. If a person is scratched by a healthy cat that does not carry the rabies virus, and the scratch wound is relatively minor and does not bleed, rabies will generally not result. If scratched by a sick cat carrying rabies virus and the wound is more serious, there may be a certain risk of rabies infection, but the risk of infection of scratches is lower compared to that of bites. Once scratched by a cat, the affected area should be rinsed with water and soapy water, and iodophor and hydrogen peroxide can also be used to disinfect the affected area. In order to reduce the risk of infection, it is recommended to go to a regular epidemic prevention institution for rabies vaccination after being scratched by a cat.
