Aims: In India, annual incidence of animal bite is estimated as 1.7 per 100 population and that of human rabies as 1.7 per 1,00,000 population. Since rabies is universally fatal it requires prevention through timely management by wound care, Anti-Rabies Vaccine (ARV) and rabies immunoglobulin. Study Design: Retrospective record review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
