Yan S, et al. - Among left-behind children, researchers studied the features and factors associated with postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment of dog and cat bites. A cross-sectional study was conducted in primary and secondary schools using questionnaires. There were a total of 9380 participants, 2236 of whom had a history of dog and cat bites. A total of 1188 boys and 1048 girls had animal bites. According to findings, bitten in holidays has been identified as a risk factor for receiving animal bites PEP treatment. Data reported that bitten while being with family and bitten at the roadside, bitten by unvaccinated animals tended to receive PEP treatment. Bleeding and laceration were shown as factors prompting treatment compared to unbroken skin. Some measures should be taken to raise the awareness of left-behind children to receive timely and appropriate PEP treatment after dog and cat bites.
