(Baonghean.vn) - After being bitten by a dog, a physical education teacher in Nghe An died and was determined to have died from rabies.
Speaking to reporters on the afternoon of March 2, Mr. Ho Phi Hoe - Chairman of the People's Committee of Cong Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District (Nghe An) said: A teacher in this commune has just died after being bitten by a dog.
Accordingly, the victim was Mr. HVT (45 years old), a Physical Education teacher at a school in Cong Thanh commune. Mr. T's family added that before the Lunar New Year of Canh Ty 2020, Mr. T. was bitten by a stray dog. However, due to subjectivity, thinking that dogs are less likely to get rabies in the winter, Mr. T. did not get vaccinated against exposure rabies.
In recent days, Mr. T. began to have unusual symptoms, so his family took him to Nghe An General Hospital for emergency treatment. Doctors diagnosed him with a severe case of rabies, so the hospital transferred Mr. T. to a higher level for treatment.
Although he was transferred to a higher level hospital for emergency treatment, Mr. T. died on March 1.
