Abstract：Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and post-exposure treatment of the rabies exposure population in Guangchang County from 2017 to 2021, so as to provide scientific evidence for the prevention and control of rabies in Guangchang County. Methods The rabies exposure registration data of the rabies exposure treatment in a clinic in Guangchang County from 2017 to 2021 were collected for statistical analysis. Results From 2017 to 2021, the numbers of rabies exposure cases were 675, 806, 869, 968, and 923, respectively, showing an upward trend year by year, and were reported throughout the year, with exposure peaks in May and August, and more men than women. The age distribution was 0-15 years old with the most (46.47%). The most exposed part was below the knee of the lower limb (35.89%), followed by the hand (32.10%). The exposure grade was the most common in grade III exposure (50.88%). The self-processing rate was higher in 2020-2021, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that in 2017-2019 (χ2=411.506, P<0.05). The utilization rate of passive immunological agents in grade III exposure was low (42.12%). The immunization rate of hurt human animals was low (9.05%). Conclusion Health education on the prevention and treatment of rabies before and after exposure should be strengthened in Guangchang County. Policies benefiting the people, such as the inclusion of rabies immunoglobulin in medical insurance or other financial subsidies, should be introduced as soon as possible. Animal vaccination measures should be strengthened.
