The most common cause of POS is cat-scratch disease, an infectious disease that typically results from a scratch or bite from a cat. However, this syndrome is an unusual feature of cat-scratch disease. In rare cases, other infections may also cause the syndrome.

Cat-scratch disease (CSD) is an infectious disease that most often results from a scratch or bite of a cat. [4] Symptoms typically include a non-painful bump or blister at the site of injury and painful and swollen lymph nodes. [2] People may feel tired, have a headache, or a fever. [2] Symptoms typically begin within 3–14 days following ...
Though it's rare for the plague to spread from a cat to a human — there are only seven cases of human plague, total, on average in the U.S. — a scratch wouldn't necessarily have to be involved ...
Cats usually become immune to the infection, while dogs may be very symptomatic. Humans may also acquire it through flea or tick bites from infected dogs, cats, coyotes, and foxes. [citation needed] Trench fever, produced by Bartonella quintana infection, is transmitted by the human body louse Pediculus humanus corporis. Humans are the only ...
A cat’s claws can potentially create a phenomenon known as “cat scratch fever.” If an infected cat licks an open wound on a human’s skin, bites, or scratches someone, the disease can ...
The incubation period for tularemia is 1 to 14 days; most human infections become apparent after three to five days. [12] In most susceptible mammals, the clinical signs include fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, signs of sepsis, and possibly death. Nonhuman mammals rarely develop the skin lesions seen in people.
Ocular larva migrans (OLM), also known as ocular toxocariasis, is the ocular form of larva migrans syndrome.It occurs when roundworm larvae invade the human eye. OLM infections in humans are caused by the larvae of Toxocara canis (dog roundworm), Toxocara cati (feline roundworm), Ascaris suum (large roundworm of pig), or Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm).
Corneal ulcers in cats can be caused by trauma, detergent burns, infections, and other eye diseases. One common cause not seen in dogs is infection with feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1). FHV-1 causes ulceration by direct infection of the epithelial cells. Lesions appear as round or dendritic (branching) ulcers.
