Because of his dead cat, this man infected by rare disease
News24xx.com - Recently there was a man who was exposed to a rare disease caused by a cat. Quoted from The Sun, the man whose name is unknown experienced a large lump on his neck. No half-hearted, there are three big lumps.
The 68-year-old man initially had a fever that never stopped for a week and was followed by the appearance of the lump. Then, the man went to see a doctor.
Doctors diagnose it with rare tularemia gland disease, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisellatularensis. This disease is acquired after contact with animals and poultry. It could also be due to eating meat that is not properly cooked, animal lice or blood sucking insects.
After being reviewed and reported by the New England Journal of Medicine, the condition that the man experienced was because of his dead cat. His favorite cat had cat leukemia.
"Anyone who has to give a drug to a cat can imagine that this process undoubtedly involves direct contact and maybe even some bites and scratches. This is a perfect opportunity for F. tularensis to jump from cat to human" the report said.
Men from Missouri, USA were given antibiotics for four weeks and the lump completely healed after three weeks. This disease is rare in humans. There are around 100-200 cases per year in United States based on the US Department of Public Health report.
