Man dies of rabies after pet dog bite in south-central Vietnam

A man died from rabies following a bite by his pet dog in Phu Yen Province, south-central Vietnam earlier this week, while his eight close contacts have needed consultation for possible health problems, according to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA). D. only used a type of antiseptic liquid to disinfect the bite, without going to a medical facility for rabies vaccination. The Center for Disease Control of Phu Yen has determined that at least eight people were either in close contact with D. or bitten by his family’s pet dog.
