Rabies is actually a fatal disease, with a 100% death rate once infected, so there are no treatment options available, only prevention can be strengthened. Rabies is also a very rare disease; across our country, there are approximately 40 million exposure cases each year, but only about 1,000 cases of rabies occur annually. If someone is bitten or scratched by a dog, cat, or bat, it is necessary to administer a rabies vaccine. For wounds with broken skin, rabies immunoglobulin must also be administered to ensure proper prevention.
