Abstract
In Sibut (CAR), the increase in bites by stray dogs and two cases of human rabies alerted health authorities in 2019. The answers were the vaccinations of humans and of dog (780 dogs). Among the 127 humans bitten and identified, 87% received a first injection of post-exposure prophylaxis. The drop-out between the first and third doses was 41%. Communication on rabies and the provision of vaccines and serums to the population are necessary, but difficult to achieve in the crisis conditions of the country.
期刊介绍：
Le Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique et la société savante (SPE) dont il est la vitrine ont été créés en 1908 par Alphonse Laveran. Destiné, dans un premier temps, à servir de support à la publication des travaux des sociétaires présentés en séance sous forme de communication ou de mémoire, ce périodique est devenu, au fil du temps, une revue internationale francophone multidisciplinaire, ouverte à tous les médecins, vétérinaires, anthropologues et chercheurs travaillant dans le domaine de la médecine tropicale humaine et animale et de la santé publique dans les pays en voie de développement.
