The World Health Organization reports that over 60,000 humans die of rabies annually, worldwide. Most occur in remote regions of developing countries. Almost all victims received no postexposure rabies prophylaxis (PEP). There are no facilities or health personnel able to provide it in many areas where the disease is prevalent. A first approach to correct this problem would be by extending provision of modern PEP to areas where human rabies is most prevalent.
世界卫生组织报告称,全球每年有超过6万人死于狂犬病。大多数死亡病例发生在发展中国家的偏远地区。几乎所有受害者都没有接受暴露后狂犬病预防治疗(PEP)。在许多狂犬病流行地区,没有设施或卫生人员能够提供这种治疗。解决这个问题的首要方法是将现代PEP的供应扩展到人类狂犬病最流行的地区。
