Much prophylaxis is administered when dog or cat quarantine or testing can be used to rule out rabies. Knowledge of the epidemiology of rabies in the area is frequently not applied when rabies postexposure prophylaxis is prescribed. Adherence to official recommendation for prophylaxis is often ...

Post-exposure prophylaxis for children living in Asia is a critical issue due to the fact that this age group is most at risk of exposure to bites from suspect rabid dogs and subsequent death due to rabies infection [1], [8]. Prior to this study, the influence that malnutrition had on ...

Our aim was to assess risk factors associated with exposure and to determine why human deaths from endemic canine rabies still occur. Contact tracing was used to gather data on rabies exposures, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) delivered and deaths in two rural districts in northwestern ...
In humans, the post-exposure prophylaxis vaccine regimen is a lot more involved than that of pets. Vaccinated and unvaccinated humans bitten by suspected rabid animals are generally given a series of rabies shots (up to five, depending on the individual's prior vaccine status). They may also ...
However, rabies in humans can also be prevented with timely and appropriate administration of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Without PEP, an estimated three million people worldwide would die every year from rabies [2]. Specific steps recommended for PEP depend on the category of exposure to ...
