how does cat scratch fever affect a pregnance of a human?




Answers:
I couldn't find any hard-core information on cat scratch fever and pregnancy. Usually, when people are referring to fetal malformation and cat scratch fever, they are talking about toxoplasmosis. Below is a quote from familydoctor.org that talks about it and pregnancy.

[quote]if you become infected while pregnant, your unborn child may also become infected. Infected babies may not develop any disease, or they may become very ill, with serious damage to the brain and eyes.

If you have been infected previously (at least 6 to 9 months before your pregnancy) with toxoplasma, you will develop immunity to it. The infection will not be active when you become pregnant, and so there is rarely a risk to your baby.[/quote]
