Scratched by a cat
Almost 1 month has been already passed since a cat scratched me.
Are there any chances of rabies infection?

Hi, a cat bite can give you a mild to serious infection. You didn't mention whether the wound is healed or not. Check for your body symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, tingling sensation around the wound and vomiting etc., you need to visit a physician for a good clinical observation and treatment. You can take a dose of tt injection right now and follow the physician's instructions for an anti rabies vaccine
