What Causes High Fever Post Scratch From A Rat?

My brother had a scratch from a rat while he was asleep. The scratch itself is now better and doesn t bother him anymore. However, after one week, he has developed a high fever. Could this be related to the rat scratch or do we have nothing to worry about?
