tailieunhanh - Risk assessment and recommendation of post exposure prophylaxis after a sentinel case of rabies in a Tertiary care hospital, south India

Rabies is the oldest zoonotic disease known to mankind. Most of the human cases reported worldwide are due to dog bite, although few cases may be transmitted by non-bite exposures. Theoretically high-risk exposures include direct contact of broken skin or mucosa with saliva, tears, oropharyngeal secretions and CSF. Hereby we narrate our risk assessment and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HCWs at our hospital after a case of rabies was detected. We incorporated our assessment program in the following form: (1) identification of potentially exposed HCWs and laboratory staff, (2) risk analysis by the Hospital infection control committee by using a questionnaire (3) Based on the type of exposure, PEP was recommended to few HCW’s and lab staff. 63 persons in total came in contact with the rabies patient, of which 36 were HCW’s and 27 were Laboratory staff. | Risk assessment and recommendation of post exposure prophylaxis after a sentinel case of rabies in a Tertiary care hospital, south India
