BACKGROUND
This 19-year-old pet groomer presents to the hospital 9 hours after being bitten by a cat. She complains of pain and swelling in her left forearm. The patient also has scratches on the dorsum of her right hand. What tests should be performed? What infectious agent is the most worrisome, and how is it treated? Should this patient be admitted to the hospital?
Hint
The rapid progression of pain and swelling within hours is a classic sign of this disease. Hand infections should be treated cautiously. This patient has significant pain with passive extension of her left wrist.
