Thiruvananthapuram: Vaccines alone may not be able to prevent peptic ulcer disease in large and deep wounds. Therefore, health experts recommend taking immunoglobulin injections into the wound. Manjeri Govt. Medical College, Department of Community Medicine, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aneesh TS Says.

Nerves are cells that do not respond to the immune system. The body keeps the nerve cells, including the brain, out of the normal immune system so as not to destroy our own immune system. For example, people who get chickenpox earlier are more likely to get the disease again. The viruses that cause chickenpox can enter the nerves. Because the virus lives inside the nerves, the body’s immune system can do nothing about it. Aneesh says this phenomenon should also be taken into account in the treatment of pneumonia.

Once the virus enters the nerve, the vaccine’s immune system can do nothing about it. When the virus travels through the nerves and reaches the brain, it begins to show signs of peptic ulcer disease. If there is a risk of the virus entering the nerves, injections should be given around the wounds. This injection should be taken near the wound along with the first dose of the vaccine. He said that there should be no mistake in the way the vaccine is taken. Says Aneesh. Vaccination against peptic ulcer is done on the skin. Once the skin penetrates, it does not become immune. Authorities say the plague is now on the rise. This may be due to the presence of more rabies in animals. Vaccination in humans alone will not eradicate the plague. Careful monitoring is needed to determine if animals are infected, if they are transmitted to humans, and if the vaccine is resistant to the disease.

The risk increases with each passing moment of treatment

Dr. Aneesh says it is important to do things immediately after the bite. Once the virus enters the nerves, the risk increases with each passing moment of treatment. What can be done immediately is to wash the bitten part with soap. The outer layer of the virus is made of fat. The outer layer of nerve cells is also made of fat. The virus enters the nerve cells quickly because it attracts fat. Soap is the best way to prevent it. In case of any animal bite, immediately wash the injured area with soap. Go to the hospital as early as possible. If there is a large wound or bite on the face, every hour of delay is risky. The more the virus reaches the nerve, the higher the risk. Delayed vaccination may not completely eliminate the risk of infection. Dr. Aneesh says that people should be told to get vaccinated immediately, rather than having to be vaccinated within the allotted time.

The vaccine is given on the day of the bite and on days 3, 7 and 28. In some foreign countries the vaccine is not given on the 28th day. It must be taken on the day of the bite and on the 3rd and 7th day. If you have not been vaccinated these days, you should be vaccinated from the beginning. The twenty-eighth day is not so obligatory. Even if it is not taken that day, it is enough to take it another day nearby. Vaccinated dogs are less likely to get the disease. However, the disease may not come. Vaccinated dogs are less likely to be infected if they are bitten, but should be vaccinated. There is nothing that can be done about it. Infection is a natural infection of animals. It is not a natural infection in humans. The dog vaccine is not as effective as the human vaccine. That’s why the dog should be vaccinated every year. Do not vaccinate in case of dog bite again within 3 months of vaccination in humans. After that you will need booster doses.

Any mammal can be infected

Dogs are the most common cause of death in humans. After that, the cat. Any mammal can be infected. The treatment is divided into 3 categories. If there is bleeding from the wound, it falls into category three. Wildlife bites are the same category. The second category is small wounds that do not bleed. Skin is a major factor in preventing pee poisoning. Even if the dog licks the skin, it will not get sick if it does not scratch the skin. In this case, the fear of those seeking treatment will be allayed. The vaccine is not required. It does not matter if the dog is vaccinated after being observed for ten days. In the case of very small wounds, this is especially true in the case of a home-bred, vaccinated dog. In case of a large bite, the wound should be cleaned immediately with soap and water before the virus enters the nerves. It does not matter if you start showing symptoms of pee poisoning, you can not be vaccinated anymore.
