Question
A 5 years boy was bitten by a domestic dog 9 months back. He received 3 doses of rabipur on 0,3 &21 day. The dog is still alive. Now, again he is bitten by a street dog .,and the dog is behaving peculiarly. the dog is traceless. Now, what will be his treatment regime? 2. a 6 years boy is having recurrent attacks of parotitis with fever. He is immunized against MMR. How will the boy be managed? What will be the d/d? 3. is there any role of ambroxol in acute asthma?
Answer
This boy requires to be given only 2 doses of any tissue culture vaccine on day 0 and on 7th day.The previous 3 doses will act as pre-exposure prophylaxis. If there is fresh bite within 5 years, one needs to give only 2 doses at 0 and 7th day .There is no need of giving rabies immunoglobulin with pre-exposure prophylaxis.After 5 years of previous dose,if there is any bite minimum of 5 doses schedule to be followed.
2) Apart from mumps, one should rule out HIV and salivary duct calculus for recurrent parotitis. Do a USG of parotids and HIV ELISA.
3) There is no role of ambroxol in asthma.
