A Danish man whose finger was bitten by a cat four years ago has died after he was infected by flesh eating bacteria. In 2018, Henrik Kriegbaum Plettner adopted a cat and her kittens from a shelter and was bitten when he tried to move one of them.
Although initially he thought nothing of it, within a few hours, his hand had swollen to twice its normal size.
Following a series of consultations, he ended up in Denmark's Kolding hospital, where he stayed for a month while he underwent 15 operations.
However, four months after the operation, his finger was still not functioning properly and doctors decided to amputate it.
Despite this, his health began to decline, with his mother telling local media that her son suffered from a number of aliments, including pneumonia and diabetes.
She said: "He had very fluctuating health. He had a weakened immune system, pneumonia, gout and diabetes. The cat had bitten right into a blood vessel, and when a cat bites and pulls its tooth out, the hole closes and the bacteria spreads."
Tissue infections in cat bite wounds are usually caused by hogenic bacterium known as Pasteurella multocida.
In some cases, this can lead to a rare bacterial infection known as necrotizing fasciitis, which can be fatal.
In Mr Plettner's case, his wound had closed almost immediately after he was bitten, which meant that the bacteria had entered his bloodstream through a vein and began to spread.
According to Mr Plettner's family, he died in October, but they have gone public now so that others can take cat bites seriously.
His widow Desirée said that it was vital that people took cat bites seriously.
She said: "We knew that he was doing badly. However, we had no idea that he was so seriously ill. Go to the doctor after a bite, don't think, 'oh, that's just a cat.' Don't take any chances."
This is from the comments section:
My daughter was scratched by a cat when she was 7. I noticed a red line going up her arm. Straight to the doctor, then hospital. She had septic arthritis. All happened so quick. Antibiotics worked fine. Be sure to keep a careful eye on it should you get scratched.

Last year or the year before some college student ate something and then had to be taken to the hospital where his legs were amputated.

I know
Like the listeria outbreak I mentioned last month; one minute, someone is eating a sandwich, and months later, they're dying because the deli meat or cheese (from months earlier) was contaminated:

I think it's real. It's probably rare, and it sounds like the guy had a lot of health issues before the bite.
