Is dog bite worse than usual in Khuzdar?

Dooram can't tell yet. Too few of Khuzdar's clinics reported in the last four weeks and in the same weeks of the last two years.

0.0 cases reported in week 39, when 27% of its clinics sent a report.

"Usual" is the same four weeks of the two years before. In 5 of those 8 weeks, fewer than half of Khuzdar's clinics sent a report, so the cases they show are not Khuzdar's usual, only how little was reported. In 2 of the last four weeks, fewer than half of its clinics sent a report, so a low count may only mean few reports. Dooram leaves out any week when fewer than half the clinics reported, and here too few weeks are left to compare.

How does Khuzdar compare with the rest of Pakistan?

Not compared. Each district is compared with its own usual, and Khuzdar cannot be this time.

What is dog bite?

Dog bites injure tens of millions of people a year. The biggest danger is rabies, a virus in an infected animal's saliva that is almost always deadly once symptoms start.

Signs
A bite or scratch that breaks the skin. Rabies signs can appear weeks or months later: fever, tingling at the wound, then fear of water, confusion or paralysis.
How it spreads
Rabies passes through saliva, mostly from dog bites or scratches, or saliva getting into an open wound, eyes or mouth. Cats, bats and monkeys can also spread it.
How to protect yourself
Vaccinate pet dogs and cats against rabies. Stay away from stray dogs and never leave a child alone with any dog. Teach children how to behave around dogs.
Get medical help
Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes, then go to a health centre at once for rabies vaccine. Don't wait for symptoms; after that, it can't be cured.

Dog bite in every country Dooram reads ›

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
