KARACHI, June 22: Five dog-bite cases were brought at the same time to the emergency ward of the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre on Saturday.

All the five patients were brought from the same area - Bizerta Lines - where a stray dog went mad and bit the passersby. The victims brought to the JPMC included two males and three females.

They were identified as Mustaqeem (16), Sabir Ali Shah (40), Mrs Khurshid (45), Faiza (13) and Saima (9).

“We have administered the first of the six doses of anti- rabies vaccine to the victims,” said Dr Simin Jamali, in charge of the ward.

Meanwhile, the dog was learnt to have bitten more people who were taken to some other private hospitals.—APP
