What happens if you get bitten by a rat?
After being bitten by a rat, many people rush to get an injection. Do I need an injection, and what kind of injection?
1. Will I get rabies, do I need to get a rabies vaccine?
Rodents and rabbits, including rabbits and hares, are not natural hosts of rabies virus and the probability of transmission of rabies virus infection is extremely low. There is no need to vaccinate against rabies for human use!
2. Want tetanus?
Rodents like to bite hard objects, and their incisors are always sharp and chiseled after wear, and human bites are prone to small and deep wounds, which is a high risk of tetanus infection.
The risk of tetanus infection should be assessed in the context of the patient's previous immunization history, and immunoprophylaxis should be performed in the table below.
3. Can rodents transmit many diseases?
Rodents, as storage hosts of natural infectious diseases and zoonotic diseases, may carry a large number of vector-borne viruses, rickettsia, bacteria, spirochetes and protozoa and other vector-borne viruses, rickettsia, bacteria, spirochetes and protozoa in their bodies, which may be directly transmitted to humans by being scratched by rodents, handling rodents, and directly transmitted to humans in contact with rodent feces, urine or saliva.
Can be directly transmitted: hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), renal syndrome hemorrhagic fever (HFRS), leptospirosis, rat bite fever, salmonellosis, tularemia, etc.
Can be indirectly transmitted: plague, Colorado tick fever, Lyme disease, scrub typhus, rickettsial pox, relapsing fever, typhus, etc.
