Patient's question:
My daughter was recently bitten by a small dog, but can patients with systemic lupus erythematosus receive the rabies vaccine?Doctor's answer:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a condition where one can receive the rabies vaccine. It is important to pay attention to actively treating the condition with hormones on a regular basis to prevent symptoms from worsening. At home, pets should be vaccinated regularly, and it is also necessary to be mindful that individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus should receive proper protective training when going outdoors.Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease. If the patient's condition is relatively stable, there are no contraindications for receiving the rabies vaccine. If your daughter is bitten by a small dog and has symptoms of skin breaks, it is recommended that you take her to the hospital for timely vaccination against rabies. Additionally, if your daughter has systemic lupus erythematosus, she should pay attention to sun protection and avoid making her child overly anxious or fatigued.
