Ante cualquier exposici\u00f3n de riesgo, incluso de animales de compa\u00f1\u00eda que no se tenga certeza de su esquema de vacunaci\u00f3n, se recomienda acudir a la unidad m\u00e9dica para valorar la lesi\u00f3n y determinar si requiere inmunizaci\u00f3n contra la rabia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022 En el IMSS se atienden cerca de 20 mil mordeduras por animales al a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n

La rabia es una enfermedad viral que puede transmitirse a las personas mediante la mordedura o el contacto de saliva de animales infectados, cuando aparecen s\u00edntomas neurol\u00f3gicos, la enfermedad es altamente mortal; por ello, la atenci\u00f3n inmediata despu\u00e9s de una exposici\u00f3n de riesgo es fundamental para prevenir consecuencias.<\/p>\n

El doctor Oscar David Ovalle Luna, titular de la Divisi\u00f3n de Vigilancia Epidemiol\u00f3gica de Enfermedades Transmisibles del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), se\u00f1al\u00f3 que ante cualquier mordedura se debe acudir a valoraci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, incluso si se trata de un perro o gato dom\u00e9stico del cual se desconozca el estado de su esquema de vacunaci\u00f3n; adem\u00e1s del riesgo de rabia, las lesiones pueden presentar infecciones bacterianas que requieren atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Explic\u00f3 que el personal m\u00e9dico de primer contacto analiza las caracter\u00edsticas de la lesi\u00f3n, eval\u00faa en el interrogatorio si el animal involucrado cuenta con vacunaci\u00f3n antirr\u00e1bica y puede ser observado durante aproximadamente 10 d\u00edas; con esta informaci\u00f3n se determina si es necesario iniciar un esquema preventivo mediante vacunaci\u00f3n y, en los casos que lo ameriten, se valora la aplicaci\u00f3n conjunta de gammaglobulina hiperinmune antirr\u00e1bica.<\/p>\n

Dijo que ante una mordedura, rasgu\u00f1o o contacto de saliva, se recomienda lavar inmediatamente y de manera abundante la zona afectada con agua y jab\u00f3n durante al menos 15 minutos y acudir lo antes posible a una unidad m\u00e9dica, no se debe esperar a que aparezcan s\u00edntomas tard\u00edos que indiquen enfermedad grave tales como irritabilidad, disminuci\u00f3n de la sensibilidad en la lesi\u00f3n, dificultad para tomar agua o comer, confusi\u00f3n o somnolencia para solicitar atenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Explic\u00f3 que pr\u00e1cticamente todos los mam\u00edferos son susceptibles de transmitir la enfermedad, incluidos perros, gatos, murci\u00e9lagos y algunos animales de ganado, el riesgo ocurre principalmente cuando la saliva de un animal infectado entra en contacto con a trav\u00e9s de una, una herida o una zona de piel que no est\u00e1 intacta.<\/p>\n

El doctor Ovalle Luna indic\u00f3 que en lo que va de 2026, el IMSS no ha registrado casos confirmados de rabia humana, adem\u00e1s de mantener acciones de vigilancia epidemiol\u00f3gica. El especialista destac\u00f3 que las estrategias de prevenci\u00f3n y actuaci\u00f3n r\u00e1pida en los diferentes niveles de atenci\u00f3n han permitido mantener pr\u00e1cticamente ausente la transmisi\u00f3n en personas.<\/p>\n

Al respecto, dijo que M\u00e9xico mantiene desde 2019 la condici\u00f3n de pa\u00eds libre de transmisi\u00f3n de rabia entre perros y gatos, reconocido por la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS), aunque persisten reservorios silvestres que requieren medidas de precauci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Destac\u00f3 que el IMSS cuenta con insumos biol\u00f3gicos para la prevenci\u00f3n de la rabia en sus unidades m\u00e9dicas, los cuales se administran previo a la valoraci\u00f3n del m\u00e9dico de primer contacto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
