Emergency treatment
事发后，男孩被父母送往医院，由于伤势严重，当地医院建议前往南阳市疾病预防控制中心进行伤口处理。 然而，当家属赶到南阳市时，已经是晚上八九点钟，被告知没有狂犬病免疫球蛋白。 他们又跑了好几个地方，才在一家24小时犬伤处理预防接种综合门诊清洗了伤口并注射了血清。 Subsequently, the boy was taken to Nanyang Central Hospital for inpatient treatment, after which he was discharged.

However, on May 7, after receiving four doses of rabies vaccine, the boy's condition suddenly deteriorated and he had a high fever. The doctor diagnosed severe encephalitis and rabies, and advised the family to transfer the child to a big city for treatment as soon as possible. However, on the way to the hospital, the boy suddenly lost consciousness and eventually died because he could not breathe on his own. At this time, he had not yet had time to get his fifth dose of rabies vaccine.
The family asked for help
At that time, the dog did not see the owner, and the family called the police to find the dog owner as soon as possible to seek justice. The police station said that the dog had appeared at various points on the day of the incident, but had not been seen before. The family members said that the dog had bitten several people, and hoped that the relevant departments could increase their efforts to find the dog owner as soon as possible and seek justice for the child.
Netizens are hotly discussed
Vaccines are the last line of defense against rabies, and the vaccination and management of rabies vaccines must be strictly standardized, and there can be no omissions.
A three-year-old child's life was taken by a vicious dog! Dog owners must be severely punished!
Dog families must take responsibility to avoid harming others. Severe punishment must be given for irresponsible dog owners!
Why do I still get sick after being vaccinated against rabies?
doubt
In response to the questions raised by netizens, experts answered:
There are many types of rabies vaccines, such as human diploid cell rabies vaccine, refined VERO cell rabies vaccine, etc. Different vaccines may vary in efficacy and immunogenicity. If the vaccine is not potent enough or pure, it may also affect the effectiveness of immunity.
If you don't get vaccinated until the virus has already invaded the nervous system, it may not be effective in preventing the disease. If the dose is insufficient or not administered at the prescribed time, it may also affect the effectiveness of immunity.
People with weakened immune systems may have a weaker response to vaccines and can't produce enough antibodies to fight off the virus.
If you are exposed to a strain of virus that is very different from the one the vaccine is targeting, it may result in the vaccine not being effective. If the virus strain mutates under the immune stress induced by the vaccine, it may evade the antibody attack produced by the vaccine.
After vaccination, if you do not pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the wound, it may lead to wound infection, further aggravating the condition. If you don't pay attention to your diet and rest after vaccination, it may affect the function of your immune system and reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine.
All of these factors can have a volatile effect on the protective effect of the rabies vaccine.
If the bite is on the head, face, neck, and hands, and the bite is deep, the chance of rabies will be relatively high, and the wound after the bite is larger, so the chance of infection will be greater.
Write at the end
The negligence of the dog owner and the negligence of the relevant departments are the driving force behind this tragedy! We must let this incident become a wake-up call, awaken everyone's attention to rabies prevention and control, and increase the publicity of civilized pet breeding! Make irresponsible dog owners pay the price they deserve!
