A person dies every 30minutes in India from Rabies

March 1st, 2007 | by Syed Hussain

According to WHO figures, one person is bitten every two seconds by a dog in India and one person dies every 30 minutes from rabies!

To make matters worse there is a shortage of the rabies vaccine all over India. Here are news reports from Maharashra, Kerala, and Manipur.

Some information about rabies from Bharat Biotech International Ltd.:

1.Once clinical symptoms have occurred, the disease is almost fatal.

2.Currently there is no cure discovered for rabies. No tests are currently available to diagnose rabies infection in humans before the onset of clinical disease.

3. Treatment should therefore be implemented promptly in every case suspected of infection with rabies virus. To prevent a fatal outcome, therapy must be initiated before the virus reaches the central nervous system and clinical signs appear.
