Post-Makkah girl: Beware dog and cat bites
The head of the Allergy and Immunology Department at the Serum and Vaccine Institute, Dr. Amjad Al-Haddad, reported that underestimating the risk of a dog or cat bite or scratch can be dangerous, especially following the death of 7-year-old Makkah girl after being bitten by a stray dog in Port Said. He explained that receiving the rabies vaccine is essential after an injury, with the number of doses depending on the type of animal and the follow-up period. He emphasized the importance of thoroughly cleaning the wound and seeking medical attention immediately. He confirmed that the case requires early vaccination; the sooner it is administered, the higher the chances of recovery. There is also a risk of the condition worsening if symptoms develop, such as loss of consciousness, similar to Makkah’s case, who died after her health deteriorated due to rabies following the dog bite.
