Article Synopsis
- Cat bite injuries are often underestimated by both patients and healthcare providers, leading to potentially serious complications due to bacteria in the cat's saliva.
- A retrospective study of 102 adult patients was conducted to analyze the impact of timing in treatment (first presentation, antibiotic start, and surgery) on microbiological results and outcomes.
- The findings indicated that timing did not significantly affect microbiological outcomes, and no notable differences were found in complication rates, hospital stays, or treatment costs based on bacterial growth.
