Cat Transmitted Infection: A dreaded disease has been detected in Britain. The surprising thing is that this disease spreads through cats. This disease was first detected in South America. These days many cases of flesh-eating bacteria have been reported in America. In such a situation, the arrival of a new disease from America to Britain is frightening. At least three people in Britain have fallen seriously ill because of the cat. It was told that this rare skin blistering disease spreads through cats. Due to this symptoms like fungal infection, wounds and ulcers start appearing on different parts of the body.
According to the report of Mirror, this fungal infection has come to light due to a cat in Brazil. When the three infected people were examined, Sporotrichosis brasiliensis was found in them. Sporotrichosis brasiliensis is a type of fungus commonly found in soil. This fungus becomes the reason for spreading the infection. It not only affects cats but is also making humans badly ill.
How does this fungal infection spread?
The three victims affected by this fungal infection include a mother, a daughter and a male veterinarian. According to the information, this fungal infection related to Sporotrichosis brasiliensis happened to these three people when the same cat scratched different parts of their bodies. However, all three patients recovered completely after treatment. This fungal infection is usually less dangerous. When an infected cat scratches any part of a person's body, a wound is formed on that part and this wound helps in the entry of Sporotrichosis brasiliensis fungus into the body.
Affects the nervous system
As soon as the fungus enters the body, its effect starts appearing on the eyes, lungs, bones and joints. In some cases, it can also affect the central nervous system. According to the World Health Organization, fungal infection is becoming a major threat to people's health and it is increasing due to the ever-changing climate.
