The boy died after being bitten by the dog for 13 days! Why did you kill a rabies vaccine?

The news that a little boy died on the Internet after being bitten by a dog made everyone feel awkward.

Xiao Tang rented a city-rural junction in Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. On September 5, his son was bitten by a yellow terrier on his way to the door. After that, he was rushed to the hospital to fight rabies vaccine, but he was still at the last shot. Two days later, suddenly rabies was born and died at 0:00 on September 19.

When the matter came out, the Internet was in vain. At the same time, people were wondering, and they all had rabies vaccine. Why is it still ill? Below, let's take a look at the "rabies" and "rabies vaccine" for everyone.

Re-recognizing "rabies"

Rabies is a zoonotic disease caused by rabies virus that can cause severe encephalitis.

Rabies virus is abundantly present in the cerebrospinal fluid, saliva and body fluids of the affected person, and most of them are transmitted by bites. It is called “madness” because it often makes people or animals who are infected particularly active, launching attacks without anger, and showing other unusual behaviors.

Infected people who are not vaccinated with the vaccine will almost certainly die when there are neurological symptoms such as convulsions, convulsions, and fear of water. The cause of death is usually due to the destruction of the central nervous system by the virus.

Moreover, depending on the location of the bite, the closer to the central nervous system, the greater the likelihood of morbidity after infection. It is recorded that the incubation period of rabies ranges from 4 days to 6 years.

Since the head and face are very close to the central nervous system, the incubation period after the bite is short and the mortality rate is high.

Unfortunately, rabies is often diagnosed only after symptoms appear, but at this time the central nervous system has been severely damaged, so the follow-up treatment is almost dead.

Questioned "vaccine"

Since the treatment after the onset is almost ineffective, why do you need to get an injection after being bitten by a dog?

In fact, rabies vaccines can be mainly divided into attenuated antigens and rabies immunoglobulin serum.

The former can stimulate the human or the animal itself to produce antibodies, but this process often takes more than two weeks;

The latter is an immunoglobulin extracted from the serum from which antibodies have been produced. It can directly bind and "kill" the rabies virus. If a sufficient amount of infiltration is injected into the wound site, the amount of rabies virus remaining in the area can be effectively reduced.

The incident combined with the news of the vaccine in the previous period, naturally there will be many people questioning whether the death is related to the quality of the vaccine.

Although the specific situation of the vaccine has yet to be ascertained, from the process of the illness and death of Xiaotang's son in a few days, the infection site is too close to the center. Even if a reliable vaccine is injected, it is difficult to avoid the tragedy.

Is it necessary to play the "rabies vaccine" again?

In China, after being bitten by a dog, doctors routinely recommend a rabies vaccine and need to be vaccinated 5 times. In fact, this kind of "dog disease, human injection" treatment is not fully recognized in the international community.

For example, in the United States, more than one million people are bitten every year, but only 10,000 people actually vaccinate. As for the reason why they can do this, on the one hand, the implementation of vaccination for dogs is more thorough and comprehensive. Studies have reported that dogs can effectively prevent the spread of rabies as long as they can achieve 70% immunization rate.

On the other hand, doctors have different treatment theories. They think that healthy dogs do not transmit rabies, so they respect the World Health Organization's “10-day observation method”.

The so-called "10-day observation method" means that after the wound is treated and disinfected, it is better to observe the biting dog or cat in isolation. If the dog or cat does not die within 10 days after biting, it proves to bite. Human dog or cat saliva does not contain rabies virus.

Studies have shown that only a few days before the death of a dog or cat is the period of rabies infection, and it is dangerous to be bitten. Therefore, if the cat or dog dies during the observation period, the person can make up the rabies vaccine.

In China, it has been reported that 2% to 6% of healthy dogs may carry rabies virus. Therefore, in order to more comprehensively avoid such a disease with extremely high mortality, the CDC recommended that the diagnosis and treatment recommendations still need to be vaccinated. If the luck is not good, at least the vaccine can have a certain protective effect.

In this sense, what we do may not be optimal, but our prevention is the most comprehensive.

Therefore, if you see a bad dog in the next time, remember not to provoke, do not look at it, and try to stay away from dangerous places. After all, if you are not bitten by a sick dog, the rabies will naturally have nothing to do with you.
