Rabies, also known as “hydrophobia” is an acute infectious disease that can occur in both humans and animals, but the morbidity and mortality rate is 100%. Basic information: 1, the source of infection: mainly “rabid dogs” (sick dogs, mad dogs). In addition, there are cats, pigs, cattle, horses and wild animals. Although some animals are not sick, but the body has been infected with rabies virus, the bite can also cause the bite of rabies. 2, the transmission route: mainly through the bite transmission. It can also be invaded by saliva with the virus through various wounds (scratches, licking of mucous membranes and skin). 3, the susceptibility of the population: both men and women, old and young, have no specific immunity to rabies virus. Some data show that the chance of developing the disease after being bitten by a dog is 15-30%. The chance of developing the disease after timely and proper wound treatment is 0.15%, so it seems how important the wound treatment is! Factors related to the onset of the disease: (1) bite site: head, face, neck, fingers, perineum when bitten easy to develop (more nerve distribution, easy to invade the virus). (2) The degree of bite: heavy, deep, bleeding, lacerations, multiple bites and other susceptible to morbidity (the number of viruses, not easy to clean up). (3) Wounds without treatment, or improperly treated susceptible to morbidity. (4) The end of the full rabies vaccination in a timely manner is prone to morbidity. (5) Immunocompromised or immunodeficient people are prone to disease. Incubation period: 5 days in short cases, up to 10 years in long cases. Main symptoms: fear of water (painful pharyngeal muscle spasms when seeing water, hearing water, thinking of drinking water), fear of wind (whole body muscle twitching when blowing wind), whole body muscle spasms, and finally whole body muscle paralysis (respiratory muscle, heart muscle paralysis, respiratory and cardiac arrest). From onset to death does not exceed 7 days. There is no specific treatment for rabies, so good prevention is essential. Emergency treatment measures for dog bites and scratches: 1. Wound treatment: Wounds should be treated immediately by rinsing all wounds thoroughly with 20% soap or 0.1% Neosporin (note that Neosporin and soap and water should not be mixed), rinsing repeatedly for at least 30 minutes, trying to remove the dog’s saliva and squeeze out the dirty blood. After the above treatment, use 75% alcohol or 2% iodine to wipe. The bite wound should not be bandaged or sutured (unless the blood vessel injury causes heavy bleeding). Remember, if you can’t find 20% soap and water or 0.1% Neosporin for a while, you should also find water to rinse the wound. 2, the application of anti-rabies immunoglobulin: all serious bites, such as head, face, neck, hand or multi-part bites, should be calculated according to the total dose of 20IU/kg, with half in the perimeter of the wound for infiltration injection, the other half in the arm intramuscular injection. 3. Vaccination: Rabies vaccine should be injected promptly throughout; (1) In case of general bites: 5 injections throughout, 2ml intramuscularly each time, on the same day, day 3, day 7, day 14 and day 30. (2) In case of severe bites: 10 injections, 2ml each intramuscular, on the same day – one injection per day on day 6 (6 injections in total), day 10, day 14, day 30 and day 90.
