Cat-Scratch Disease (Bartonella henselae Infection).Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is a bacterial infection spread by cats. The disease spreads when an infected cat licks a person’s open wound, or bites or scratches a person hard enough to break the surface of the skin. About three to 14 days after the skin is broken, a mild infection can occur at the site of the scratch or bite. The infected area may appear swollen and red with round, raised lesions and can have pus.[url][/url]https://veterinarymedicineechbeebolanle-ojuri..com/2019/03/veterinary-medicine-cat-scratch-disease.html
Do not wave off bites from your cats.
