The patient had been well until 5 days before admission, when, while working as a veterinarian's assistant at an animal hospital, she was bitten on the right thenar eminence by a domesticated cat, sustaining a single puncture wound. The cat, which had received rabies vaccinations in the past, had disappeared from its home for several days and had returned febrile, jaundiced, and anemic. After being bitten, the patient washed the wound and took one dose of amoxicillin, according to workplace protocol. She continued to work that day and handled cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and dogs (including a dog with elevated results of liver-function tests and a history of leptospirosis). During the next 4 days, the patient cleaned cages, handled animals, and petted horses, sheep, and unvaccinated “barn cats” outside. She did not report that any animal licked her wound.
