Another suspected rabies case has been reported at Karachi’s Jinnah Hospital, where a 70-year-old resident of Baldia Town was brought in critical condition after developing symptoms associated with the disease.
According to sources, a dog bit the man on his left hand and foot around 20 days before he was taken to the hospital. He reportedly did not receive an anti-rabies vaccine following the incident.
Sources said the patient also has hepatitis C. His condition was described as critical when he arrived at Jinnah Hospital.
The case remains suspected, with the available information indicating symptoms of rabies rather than a confirmed diagnosis. Details about the specific symptoms, diagnostic assessment, and treatment were not provided.
It was also not clear why the patient had not received vaccination after the dog bite or whether he had sought medical attention elsewhere before being brought to Jinnah Hospital.
