Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the incidence of rabies and the effectiveness of post-exposure treatments in Pakistan, analyzing cases from a public isolation hospital.
- Of the 40 patients with clinical rabies, many did not receive adequate vaccination or were given a single type of vaccine that lacked proper potency testing according to WHO standards.
- The findings indicate a need for improved rabies prevention strategies, including better vaccine quality assurance, education for healthcare providers, and effective dog control measures to reduce the rabies reservoir.
