Abstract

A panaritium developed in a woman in Demark after her cat scratched her. Analysis of tissue by 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed Mycoplasma phocimorsus, known to cause seal finger. The source of the bacterium likely transmitted by the cat is unknown, but awareness of potential zoonotic transmission from cats should be raised.A panaritium developed in a woman in Demark after her cat scratched her.
