The woman and her daughter were bitten by a clinically confirmed rabid stray dog on face in Kullu district in April 2015. Both were given Local RIGs with IDRV and survived. But a similar patient from another area Rampur (2014), who was bitten on lower lip by a suspected rabid stray dog and given IM rabies vaccine without local RIGs, died of Rabies within 2 weeks of the bite. This demonstrates the life saving value of local RIGs with IDRV.
