Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the demographic profile of animal bite cases at a dedicated anti-rabies hospital.
Methodology: This retrospective chart review based on secondary data received from animal bite register was conducted in the Department of Microbiology at National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2014 to December 2015 for a period of two years. All relevant data were noted from the registered record.
Result: A total number of 17688 cases were collected from the register log book of animal bite. The mean age with standard deviation was 24.42±17.22 with the range of 1 to 99 years.
