HYDERABAD: An 11-year-old boy injured in a dog bite has died during treatment in Hyderabad. The Sindh health department confirmed that the boy died at the Civil Hospital while being treated.

According to the Sindh health department, a dog had bitten the boy on the arm two months ago. He did not tell his family, so he could not be vaccinated in time.

The Sindh health department further said that the boy had developed symptoms of rabies four days ago. He was then brought to the Civil Hospital for treatment.

It may be noted that the number of children who have died of dog bites this year has risen to four.
