UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted. Data was collected, and analyzed from June 2021 to June 2023 a period of 2 years.
UNASSIGNED: Majority of the patients reported within the first 24 hours after being bitten while approximately one-third reported after 24 hours. Majority were Category 3 bites and unprovoked. Males, lower-middle class, and bites on lower extremities were common among 4291 patients attending the clinic. Out of 217 re-exposure cases, 185 did not have any documentation regarding their previous treatment of animal bites.
UNASSIGNED: Among 4291 patients attending the clinic, majority were Category 3 bites on the lower extremities. 85.25% of re-exposure cases had to be administered a full course of treatment due to a lack of documentation leading to rabies as a biological wastage. This avoidable wastage can be a resource for treating more patients.

■在诊所就诊的4291名患者中,大多数是下肢的3类叮咬。85.25%的再暴露病例必须进行完整的治疗,因为缺乏文件会导致狂犬病作为生物浪费。这种可避免的浪费可以成为治疗更多患者的资源。
