Niño de Ontario muere de rabia tras contacto con murciélago

Salud

Un niño de 11 años del norte de Ontario falleció por rabia después de que un murciélago se posara en su cara durante unas vacaciones de verano. El New York Post informó que el caso muestra lo difícil que es detectar mordeduras de murciélago, lo que puede retrasar el tratamiento. CNN señaló que se trató del primer caso de rabia adquirido localmente en la provincia desde 1967.

East Idaho News confirmó la muerte del niño y señaló la relevancia histórica del incidente. NewsNation indicó la necesidad de iniciar rápidamente la profilaxis post-exposición tras una posible exposición a murciélagos, citando la tragedia como ejemplo.
