Exposures and Need for Post Exposure Prophylaxis Sample Clauses

Exposures and Need for Post Exposure Prophylaxis. The final section of these results focuses on potential exposures to rabies via animal bites. Table 6 summarizes reported household bites among adults and children in the past year, stratified by settlement type. Children are traditionally at the highest risk of dog bites worldwide. Consistently across all settlement areas, between 64 to 76 percent of household bites were among adults, while 24 to 36 percent of household bites were among children. In rural areas, household child bites accounted for the lowest proportion of total household bites (24 percent). Among the total estimated surveyed household population, 3.6 percent of persons were exposed to a dog bite in the past year. This rate varied between 1.8 percent in urban areas and 4.7 percent in semi- urban areas. The overall dog bite rate was 36 per 1,000 persons. Our rate may underestimate the true rate because survey participants were asked to report bites for all household members. It is likely that household members may not have reported bites to survey respondents, or that participants forgot about bites experienced by other individuals. Adult Bites 27 (64.29) 153 (67.40) 41 (75.93) 221 (68.42) Child Bites b 15 (35.71) 74 (32.60) 13 (24.07) 102 (31.58) Total Population 2389 (100.00) 4830 (100.00) 1653 (100.00) 8872 (100.0) Known Deaths from Dog Bites 2 4 0 6 (0.41) Known Deaths from 'Rabies' 1 5 2 8 (0.55) a Bite Rate: 36 per 1,000 population b ‘Child’ is defined as anyone under the age of 18 The second section of Table 6 includes known community human deaths due to rabies or a dog bite. Nearly 1 percent of respondents indicated that they had known someone in the community who died after being bitten by a dog or from a disease called ‘rabies.’ Household dog bites do occur among this population, which indicates that an opportunity for transmission of rabies from a dog to a human exists. With an average of 5 percent of the dog population dying from a canine RLI annually, there are numerous opportunities for a human to be potentially exposed to rabies. Moreover, these results indicated that human rabies cases have occurred in the surveyed areas. Timely post-exposure prophylactic (PEP) vaccinations are critical to preventing human exposures to rabies from developing into human cases of rabies, which ultimately become fatal once symptoms appear.

  • Abnormally High Tenders 36.4 An abnormally high price is one where the tender price, in combination with other constituent elements of the Tender, appears unreasonably too high to the extent that the Procuring Entity is concerned that it (the Procuring Entity) may not be getting value for money or it may be paying too high a price for the contract compared with market prices or that genuine competition between Tenderers is compromised. 36.5 In case of an abnormally high tender price, the Procuring Entity shall make a survey of the market prices, check if the estimated cost of the contract is correct and review the Tender Documents to check if the specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tenders. The Procuring Entity may also seek written clarification from the tenderer on the reason for the high tender price. The Procuring Entity shall proceed as follows: i) If the tender price is abnormally high based on wrong estimated cost of the contract, the Procuring Entity may accept or not accept the tender depending on the Procuring Entity's budget considerations. ii) If specifications, scope of work and/or conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tender prices, the Procuring Entity shall reject all tenders and may retender for the contract based on revised estimates, specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract, as the case may be. 36.6 If the Procuring Entity determines that the Tender Price is abnormally too high because genuine competition between tenderers is compromised (often due to collusion, corruption or other manipulations), the Procuring Entity shall reject all Tenders and shall institute or cause relevant Government Agencies to institute an investigation on the cause of the compromise, before retendering.
