Once infected with rabies virus causes rabies, the lethality is extremely high, human infection cases are mainly transmitted to people by the bite or scratch of dogs and cats carrying rabies virus, but now there are many misconceptions about the perception of rabies, of which 10 common misconceptions are: 1, rabies virus in the human body can be latent 10-20 years: the incubation period of rabies according to the degree of infection, the depth of the wound site, age and physical condition is different The incubation period is not fixed, the basic incubation period is in 15 days to 6 months, more than 1 year is almost rare, accounting for only 2-3% of the incidence of rabies; 2, the bite of a vaccinated pet does not need to be vaccinated: after being bitten by a vaccinated pet is required to go to the vaccination, on the one hand, can not be confirmed in a short period of time whether the source of the pet vaccination is regular, on the other hand, it is not possible to confirm the pet after vaccination 3.Children’s rabies vaccination will affect intellectual development and growth: rabies vaccine is a non-live vaccine, in essence, and children usually vaccinated with common vaccines are not very different, so rabies vaccination may have some gastrointestinal reactions or a transient rash, but will not have an impact on the growth and intellectual development of children; 4.Vaccination after 24 hours after the bite is invalid There is no proof that the vaccination is not effective after 24 hours, the incubation period of rabies is relatively unstable, the vaccination is effective during the incubation period, and it is advocated that the earlier the vaccination, the better; 5, the wound bleeding is necessary to play rabies vaccine: in the process of contact with the pet was rubbed skin, saliva contact with the skin mucosa, and the wound was added by the pet are required to be vaccinated. Rabies virus can enter the wound through saliva to trigger a viral infection; 6, pregnant women can not be vaccinated against rabies: rabies vaccine is not contraindicated, either in preparation for pregnancy, pregnancy or lactation can be vaccinated against rabies, rabies virus is a lethal virus, so pregnant women are bitten to be vaccinated in a timely manner; 7, rabies will bark and crawl like a dog: the clinical symptoms of rabies are fear of water, fear of light, high fever and sweating , mania and even late muscle paralysis. Patients may have muscle spasms that lead to inconvenient limb movements, or pharyngeal muscle spasms that lead to voice changes, but will not appear like a dog crawling and barking these symptoms; 8, only dogs and cats bitten will suffer from rabies: most of China’s rabies is due to dogs and cats scratching and biting, sick dogs and cats is the main source of infection, in addition to some domestic mammals pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. are carriers of rabies virus, and Contact with sick animals or bites, scratches have the possibility of rabies virus infection; 9, pet bites can be implemented 10-day observation method: 10-day observation method means that the animal was meant to rabies host animals, the animal can be kept under observation for 10 days, if the animal does not develop for 10 days, you can stop injecting the rest of the rabies vaccine. However, the 10-day observation method is generally applicable in low-risk areas and is currently not suitable for domestic use. In addition to this, the implementation of the 10-day observation method also requires prerequisites, i.e. animal vaccination history can be traced, local animal immunization exceeds 70%, professional laboratory diagnosis confirms that the animal does not carry rabies virus, and only applies to people who have been vaccinated against rabies within 3 months, etc.; 10. Rabies vaccine can be immunized for life: any kind of vaccine has an expiration date, and rabies vaccine is no exception, so if you are bitten again after having received the vaccine, please follow the doctor’s instructions. Please follow medical advice and test for antibodies at specific vaccination intervals. Most areas require 1 rabies vaccination within 2-3 years.
