United StatesAn 11-year-old boy in Ontario, Canada, died from rabies after being exposed to a bat during a visit to a cottage. According to a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the boy was bitten on the face by a bat while sleeping, though there were no visible wounds. His family did not seek medical attention initially, and he was hospitalized 20 days later. Despite treatment, his condition rapidly deteriorated, and he passed away after life-sustaining therapies were withdrawn. Health officials emphasize that any contact with bats, even without visible injuries, should prompt immediate consultation with public health authorities.
