CDC y estados emiten alertas de rabia ante aumento de casos

El Departamento de Salud de Rhode Island emitió una advertencia sanitaria tras observar un murciélago en la zona de juegos acuáticos del zoológico Roger Williams Park, considerándolo de bajo riesgo para la exposición humana y recomendando a cualquier persona que haya tenido contacto que solicite una evaluación médica. La advertencia se produce en medio de un aumento generalizado de casos de rabia en EE.  UU.

Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) advirtieron este verano sobre un incremento de casos y un 17 % más de consultas relacionadas, instando a iniciar rápidamente la profilaxis post-exposición y a vacunar a las mascotas. Los departamentos de salud de Idaho, Texas, Carolina del Norte, Florida y varios estados emitieron alertas tras confirmar rabia en murciélagos, zorros, mapaches, cabras y un perro doméstico; en Bismarck, Dakota del Norte, el veterinario estatal adjunto instó a los residentes a mantener al día las vacunas de sus animales después de que se encontraran dos murciélagos rabiosos.
