Diseases transmitted by cat
The cat can transmit diseases to
humans such as:
- PULMONARY laTUBERCULOSE
- The SALMONELLOSIS
- The TOXOPLASMOSIS
- The Brucellosis rarely.
- RAGE
- CertainesENCEPHALOPATHIES;
- Some VIRAL HEPATITIS
For cons, the more frequent the
disease called "cat scratch disease" or lymphoreticulosis benign.
SYMPTOMS
The cat scratch after 2 or 3 days,
turns into a painless ulcer and sometimes a papule (blister) followed by a
vesicle.
The satellites of the offending
territory nodes become large, painful, then regressing spontaneously or
fistulizing.
To these signs are added headache,
malaise and fever. Sometimes ocular complications may occur.
However, this condition is benign.
TREATMENT
Tetracyclines are associated with
highly effective antipyretic (aspirin).
Sometimes surgical excision of infected
lymph nodes is required.
In 1993, it was revealed that some
very severe disease (encephalopathy, hepatitis) caused by germs Rochalimea
types could be transmitted by the cat during bites or scratches.
These diseases develop especially in
immunocompromised they aggravate immune deficiency (see AIDS AND PETS)
Finally, among the household
allergens responsible for education, it should be noted that the cat has a
great responsibility in particular the occurrence of asthma attacks.
The allergen is produced by the
cat's skin (in the sebaceous glands) and is deposited on the hair (we are aware
stroking the cat).
Male cats have more allergens than
female cats and neutered cats. .
