Causes and Risk Factors
Scratches or bites from a stray or pet cat. Bacteria on the claws and teeth can get into the skin, and cats may carry cat scratch disease.
Symptoms of Cat Scratch
- Warmth, pus or a red streak spreading
- Swollen glands near the scratch after a few days
- Mild pain or itching
- Swelling and redness around the scratch
Understanding Cat Scratch
Claws or teeth can break the skin. Most heal on their own, but cat scratches can become infected, and animal bites and scratches also carry a small risk of rabies in Turkey.
