RABIES POSTEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PEP): ASSESSMENT ALGORITHM Was the patient bitten or was there saliva contact from the animal to an open wound or mucous membrane of the patient? Rabies PEP NOT advised. Exception for bats* Skunk, fox, bat or other wild carnivore Test for rabies. Rabies PEP is not indicated pending test results. Consult with the OSDH Acute Disease Service Epidemiologist-on- Call about rabies risk at (405) 271-4060. Rabies PEP can still be provided even if 72 hours has passed from the time of the bite. Farm animal (cow, sheep, pig, horse, goat) Exotic animal (tiger, bear, or monkey) Is animal’s location known? If possible, look for the animal for 72 hours before starting rabies PEP. Dog, cat, o r domestic ferret Rabies PEP NOT advised. Contact local animal control or county health department. PEP should not be initiated unless animal develops rabies during 10 day observation period. Rabies PEP is NOT indicated. Small rodent (squirrel, hamster, guinea pig, gerbil, chipmunk, rat, mouse) Lagomorph (rabbit, hare) Rabies PEP NOT advised. NO YES If YES, what kind of animal? YES NO YES * Bats pose particular risks and rabies transmission has occurred in the absence of a recognized bite. Therefore, every effort should be made to capture and test the bat involved in the exposure incident. If the patient can provide adequate history that no direct exposure occurred, then no treatment is necessary, If the patient is an unobserved child, or a person who was asleep, intoxicated, or mentally challenged, then PEP may be indicated. Consult w/ the OSDH Acute Disease Service Epidemiologist-on-Call by calling (405) 271-4060 (available 24/7/365). Rabies PEP is NOT advised. Contact county health department. PEP should not be initiated unless animal develops rabies during 30 day observation Rabies PEP recommended See the other side of this document or call the OSDH Acute Disease Service Epidemiologist-on-Call at (405) 271-4060 (available 24/7/365) NO Is the test positive?
