What is the treatment for a cat bite?
Patient: Daughter, 10 yrs, got a cat bite. It was not deep but just two superficial marks. It blessed a little and the wound was cleaned with antiseptic liquid. The bleeind stopped immediately. We went to ped and gave first dose on arm. Since she got a little reaction(eyes and lips were white, BP dropped for max a minute), the next four doses were given on thighs as per schedule. Now we got to know that immunoglobin is also given along with first dose but it was not given in her case. Though she has taken the TT booster dose as per the pediatrics schedule. Now the fact of not giving immunoglobin is worrying me especially because the cat is not traceable. Can you advise please? Doctor: HIWell come to HCMIf the patient being vaccinated then just forget about any thing that worries you immunoglobin single short would be enough when there is not indication of any zoonotic infection and condition is on precaution level only, hope this helps.
