Summary

Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in children shows gaps in risk assessment and inconsistent practices. Standardized risk evaluation and improved clinical guidance are needed for this fatal, yet preventable, disease.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Rabies is a fatal viral disease preventable with timely post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
  • Understanding pediatric rabies exposure and PEP practices in endemic urban areas is crucial for public health.
  • Current practices may have inconsistencies affecting disease prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe rabies exposure characteristics in children.
  • To evaluate risk categorization and real-world PEP practices among pediatric patients.
  • To identify areas for improvement in rabies prevention strategies for children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of children (<18 years) with rabies-risk contact from January 2013 to October 2023.
  • Data extracted from the provincial rabies surveillance system in İzmir.
  • Included demographics, exposure details, animal species, risk category, and PEP administration (vaccination, rabies immunoglobulin, tetanus).

Main Results:

  • 3732 children included; most exposures involved dogs and cats.
  • 48.8% presented on the same day; 0.9% presented after >30 days.
  • Risk categorization documented in only 33.6%; rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) given to 2.6%.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in documenting rabies risk in children.
  • Variability in pediatric rabies post-exposure prophylaxis practices was observed.
  • Standardized risk assessment and enhanced clinical guidance are necessary for effective rabies prevention.
