This slideshow contains graphic images of dog bites from the rabies frontlines.
This young child was bitten on the hand by a suspected rabid dog. The wound should have been washed immediately with soap and water to eliminate as much of the rabies virus as possible. Washing the wound is the first step in patient care after a bite wound.
This young child has rabies and even the thought of drinking water causes painful spasms. Hydrophobia is one aspect of rabies infection.
Light and air are also painful to experience as is shown here in this child that has rabies.
Here, a child was bitten on his side.
This child was also attacked and bitten by a suspect rabid dog. These children should receive life-saving rabies immune globulin but, like the majority of dog bite victims in poor countries, they will not due to the high cost or the fact that it is not available.
This five-year old child was bitten on the buttocks by a suspected rabid dog.
This child was bitten on her face.
Dog teeth-mark puncture wounds and bruising may be seen on the upper arm of this one-year-old child.
This child was bitten on his face.
This 11-year-old was bitten on his left buttock.
Unfortunately, this patient received sutures in his would without having received rabies immune globulin. This is not a recommended practice since suturing can cause the rabies virus to be inoculated into the nerves during the suturing procedure.
This 8-year-old was bitten severely on the face.
This man was bitten severely on his right foot.
A local healer tied a black string around his leg to ward off rabies--based on folk medicine understandings.
This woman suffered a dogbite by the community dog. The wound is just under her right eye.
This is a skin sensitivity test to determine if the patient will have a reaction to the rabies immune globulin. The test is positive, and the patient needs to be closely monitored during and after the administration of rabies immune globulin.
In some countries, it is unfortunate that rabies patients are locked in rooms or buildings where they cannot escape, as is shown here.
This young boy was bitten on his thigh by a suspect rabid dog. The wounds were not immediately washed as is recommended by the World Health Organization.
This image shows an infected bite wound on a man's chest.
This man received a bite wound on his nose.
Sutures were administered into this bite wound without rabies immune globulin. This is not the recommended practice as suturing without rabies immune globulin can cause rabies virus to be inoculated into the wounds during the procedure.
Patients that experience dog attacks may experience traumatic wounds as is seen here in the x-ray showing a man's broken wrist.
This child was severely bitten on the face.
The extensive wounds will need to be washed and injected with rabies immune globulin in order to help reduce the chance of contracting rabies.
This child did recover after receiving the recommended post-exposure prophylaxis consisting of washing the wounds, administration of rabies immune globulin and rabies vaccination.
Too many patients do not know that the local herbs and treatment suggested by local medicine men and traditional healers will not prevent rabies. This young child has a black string on his neck as part of the ‘cure’ suggested by a local healer.
This image shows skin lesions on a child infected with rabies. This is sometimes a reaction to a rabies shot. This is a front view of the previous photo.
