A man in Dong Nai was licked in the open wound by a dog at home, so he did not get a rabies vaccination. About a month later, he developed symptoms of hydrophobia, photophobia, and died.
According to an epidemiological investigation, Mr. N.K.H. (54 years old, residing in Thach Man hamlet, Tan Loi commune) was licked in the open wound by a dog suspected of having rabies. However, he did not get a rabies vaccination or use anti-rabies serum.
On June 16, the dog suddenly became aggressive, biting two other dogs to death, so Mr. H. beat him to death. On July 10, he developed symptoms such as hydrophobia, fear of noise, fear of light, loss of appetite, etc. and was taken to the hospital for examination and diagnosis of rabies.
Despite being closely monitored, Mr. H. died at home 7 days later. Test results from the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital for Tropical Diseases confirmed that the patient was positive for rabies virus.
