Exposures for Need for Post Sample Clauses

Exposures for Need for Post. Exposure Prophylaxis Human exposures to rabies via canine bites account for the vast majority of human rabies cases worldwide. Reducing the prevalence of rabies limits the risk associated with dog bites, and reducing dog bites also limits the risk of the spread of rabies. Inextricably linked to dog bites as a potential rabies exposure is the need for access to safe post-exposure-prophylactic treatment (PEP) and education about the importance of obtaining treatment after a dog bite. Without timely access to life-saving treatment, individuals exposed to rabies will become ill and eventually die. The incidence of household dog bites among our study population was 3.6 percent and varied slightly among settlement areas. Semi-urban and rural households were more likely to report a bite among household members than urban areas. Children accounted for 32 percent of dog bite cases, which is similar to but slightly lower than worldwide estimates of 40 percent [2]. There were no estimates of bites occurring among persons living outside of the household unit, and household bites could have resulted from household dogs or other street dogs. However, this figure does provide a baseline estimate of the incidence of dog bites among the Haitian population. Knowing the frequency of bites substantiates the need for PEP and provides an estimate of the quantity of supply needed for life-saving treatment. There is evidence that knowledge about rabies is low among the public and even within the healthcare field. Healthcare workers interviewed by CDC staff in 2013 demonstrated knowledge that individuals exposed to rabies should go to a hospital for treatment, but some interviewees reported that bite victims who report to healthcare centers are often given an anti- tetanus shot, but are not always given PEP vaccination treatment. These findings are consistent with a KAP study conducted in Xxxxxx-Ville, Haiti in 2013, where only 14 percent of survey respondents reported that they would request a rabies vaccine after being bitten by an animal [49]. This gap in knowledge of rabies treatment represents a critical linkage to care that is often absent in this country. Preventing exposures to rabies from becoming human cases of rabies is impossible without knowledge of when, how, and where to get PEP treatment, particularly if the healthcare community itself is misinformed about treatment protocol. Lastly, nearly 1 percent of respondents reported having known someone who died of rabies o...
