This year the crisis center SOS International was contacted
136 times by Dutch tourists abroad claiming to have become sick with rabies. In
106 cases this diagnosis was confirmed by physicians. Last year the number of such
contacts with SOS International was about half of the number of this year. In
2013 the number of contacts was only 21 of which 16 were confirmed as patients
with rabies by physicians. If the sickness is not treated in time it can be
lethal. SOS International has no explanation for the increase in the number of
cases.Friday, October 7, 2016
