Can I still get Rat Bite Fever?

---

My pet rat bit me pretty good about 6 months ago, and it bled a lot and was swollen. It healed up fine and I had no problems. She bit me again tonight (deeper) and I was wondering if I didn't get Rat Bite Fever the first time, can I get it this time? I'm only worried because Im alrIeady recovering from a pretty bad wound that I had a tetanus shot and stitches from hiking and getting cut on a log.

rat-bite fever (also known as Spirillum minus)?

---

is rat-bite fever dangerous? a rate of 1-10. 10 being the most harmful and 1 being the weakest

thanks!
Untreated, the death rate from spirillary rat-bite fever is less than 10%, but the little devils are very sensitive to antibiotics, so dying despite treatment is pretty uncommon. On your danger scale i would put it at 2-3.  (+ info)

rat bite fever? please help me!?

---

hello, about a month ago i bought a pet hairless rat, he seems really healthy and every thing, and about a week or two ago i developed this rash on my face, theres a rash by my eye, and on the side of my nose.. and it seems to not be improving, it itches really bad, and is just annoying.

i went to the doctor and he checked it out and said he has no idea what it could be, so he prescribed me this cream that i am using hydracordizone, its been two days but not working its spreading more if anything.

my question is,.... could it be rat bite fever? if so does it kill people?
and am i going to be okay? what can i do to get rid of this?
yeah i have been diagnosed with exzema before! and i told the doc that and he said it really could be, but i also didnt tell him i have a rat... lol
Really doubt it's from your rat... it sounds like eczema.  (+ info)

What to do for a minor pet rat bite?

---

I got a rat bite on my hand just deep enough to bleed (a pet rat, not from the sewer or anything). After I wash it well, does it need anything other than antibiotic ointment and a bandaid?
If the rat is in good health you should be ok. But if you want to read more about it check out the websight.

Rabies infection chance by Rat bite and Pregnancy?

---

My wife is in 2nd month of pregnancy and is bitten by a rat which has caused a small cut and little bleeding. My question is whether any chance of contracting rabies is there and if she takes an anti rabies vaccine is it safe during pregnancy?
Check with her OB doctor. Rats rarely carry rabies, however they do carry other diseases that should be checked out. See my piece on rabies below...
