🤔What is a Category III animal bite?

A Category III animal bite, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), involves one or more transdermal bites or scratches that puncture the skin, or any licks on broken skin or mucous membranes, including exposures to bats. This category indicates a higher risk of rabies transmission compared to Category I and II exposures, necessitating immediate post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with both rabies vaccine and rabies immunoglobulin (RIG).
Key characteristics of Category III bites:
Transdermal bites or scratches:
These are bites or scratches that break the skin, creating a puncture wound or laceration.
Licks on broken skin or mucous membranes:
Licks from an animal on open wounds or on the mucous membranes (e.g., mouth, eyes, nose) also fall under this category.
Exposure to bats:
Any contact with a bat, regardless of whether it resulted in a bite or scratch, is considered a Category III exposure.
Management of Category III Bites:
Immediate Wound Care: Thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water for several minutes.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP):
Rabies Vaccine: Begin the PEP series as soon as possible after the exposure.
Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG): Infiltrate RIG around the wound (if feasible) and administer the remaining dose intramuscularly.
Tetanus Vaccination: Ensure the patient's tetanus vaccination is up-to-date.
Antibiotics: Consider antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection, especially for deep wounds.
Follow-up: Monitor the patient closely for any signs of rabies and ensure completion of the PEP series.

🤔 Para Saan ang ERIG (Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin)?
•Ang ERIG ay isang anti-rabies injection na ginagamit para maiwasan ang rabies matapos makagat o makalmot ng isang hayop na maaaring may rabies.

🤔 Kailan Kailangan ang ERIG?

•Kapag nakagat o nakalmot ng a*o, pusa, o anumang hayop na maaaring may rabies or stray animals.
•Kung malalim o dumudugo ang sugat.
•Kung ang nakagat ay may mahinang immune system (bata, matatanda, o may sakit).
•Kung hindi sigurado kung may bakuna laban sa rabies ang hayop.
* Kung nakagat sa matigas na bahagi ng katawan at malapit sa ulo

🤔 Ano ang Ginagawa ng ERIG?

📍Agarang proteksyon laban sa rabies – Pinapatay agad ang virus bago ito kumalat.

📍Kasabay ng anti-rabies vaccine – Habang hinihintay na umepekto ang bakuna, ang ERIG ay nagbibigay ng agarang immunity.

📍 💯% epektibo kung magpapa ERIG agad.

📍Tandaan: Ang rabies ay 100% fatal kapag may sintomas na, kaya huwag ipagsawalang-bahala ang kagat ng hayop!

🏥 Kung nakagat ka, kumonsulta agad sa ACSC ANIMAL BITE CLINIC para sa ERIG at anti-rabies vaccine.

FYI:
If exposed to rabies, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) involves immediate wound cleaning, a dose of rabies immune globulin (ERIG), and a series of rabies vaccine doses administered on days 0, 3, 7, and with a fourth dose on day 30.

What to do?
Wound Cleaning:
Immediately clean and rinse the wound thoroughly with soap and running water.

What is an ERIG?
Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG):
Administered at the time of the first medical visit.
Infiltrated into and around the wound, with any remaining volume administered in a different location.
ERIG provides immediate protection while the body develops immunity from the vaccine.

Rabies Vaccine:
For those who have never been vaccinated:
The first dose is given on day 0 (the day of exposure).
Subsequent doses are administered on days 3, 7, 30.

For those who have been previously vaccinated:
Only two doses of vaccine are needed, given on days 0 and 3.
ERIG is NOT administered.

Importance of Prompt Treatment:
Rabies is almost always fatal if left untreated, so it's crucial to seek medical attention and initiate PEP as soon as possible after a potential exposure.
