Surat: Two deaths due to rabies caused by stray dog bites were reported in Surat within the last 12 hours
The first incident involved an 18-year-old female named Jyoti, who was bitten by a stray dog six months ago. Jyoti had received an anti-rabies vaccine after the incident but did not complete the full course of treatment. Unfortunately, she developed rabies six months later and was admitted to the new civil hospital. However, her family members decided to take her back home without consulting a doctor. Jyoti passed away at her home on Thursday morning.
In another case, a 55-year-old man named Magan Ghurabhai Parmar was in a critical condition near Gandhibagh circle. He was immediately admitted to the new civil hospital via a 108 ambulance. Upon examination, it was discovered that he had rabies. Despite undergoing treatment, Magan succumbed to the illness yesterday morning. The doctors performed a post-mortem on him while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) at the new civil hospital. DeshGujarat
