پیش گیری پس از ابتلا
In the United States, dog bites, cat bites, and exposure to bats are common reasons that patients present for postexposure prophylaxis.
However, incubation periods as short as 4 days or as long as 6 years have been reported, emphasizing the importance of postexposure prophylaxis for patients regardless of the amount of time that has elapsed since a suspected exposure.
The more typical focus for emergency providers is to assess patients with possible exposure to the rabies virus, manage public health and animal control notification, and appropriately administer postexposure prophylaxis for rabies exposures.
Evaluate all patients for potential postexposure prophylaxis who have been bitten, scratched, or exposed to saliva from a wild animal or from a domestic animal that could be rabid.
Exposure to Bats: Provide postexposure prophylaxis to patients who have had direct contact with a bat unless the person can be certain that a bite, scratch, or mucus membrane exposure did not occur.
