Cat skin lesions

Question
I just took my persian cat to the vet because I thought she might have ringworm because of hair loss in spots with brown circular lesions on her skin in a couple of spots.  She did a culture and said they would let me know in about 10 days.  She also said they would check for chlamydia?  She was in a hurry and didn't really have time to answer my questions completely.What do I do to protect myself from either of these things and should I be worried about my grandchildren being around her?

Answer
Ringworm can be contagious, but if you start topical treatment, it should not be contagious after 3-4 days. Wash your hands with a good antimicrobial soap and wash combs and brushes used on the cat with a pretty strong bleach/water solution.  Launder as much of the bedding that the cat lays on, too. As far as chlamydia, I don't know why they would check for that.  Chlamydia is a respiratory, not a skin, infection.
