A 70-year-old man from Baldia Town was admitted to Karachi’s Jinnah Hospital with suspected rabies, according to a recent report. The patient was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after displaying symptoms indicative of the disease. It was discovered that he sustained a dog bite on his left hand and foot approximately 20 days prior to his hospitalization.
Notably, the man did not receive an anti-rabies vaccine following the dog bite incident. The report also suggests that the patient has been diagnosed with hepatitis C. At the time of admission, his condition was described as critical. However, the case remains classified as suspected rabies, based on the available information which points towards symptoms of rabies rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
The specific symptoms, diagnostic assessment, and treatment details were not disclosed. Furthermore, the report does not clarify the reasons behind the patient’s failure to receive vaccination after the dog bite, or whether he sought medical care elsewhere prior to being admitted to Jinnah Hospital. No subsequent updates on the patient's status were provided in the original account.
