A PLUS II student from Thakazhi in Alappuzha died of suspected rabies on Friday.
The deceased is Sooraj Nair of Pushpamangalath, Karumadi East, Thakazhi. He was a student of the Devaswom Board HSS Thakazhi. He died while undergoing treatment at the Alappuzha MCH.
Officials said Sooraj did not take the rabies vaccine after being bitten by a pet dog around two weeks ago while he was on his way to his relative's house.
A few days ago, he developed fever and was taken to a private hospital, where doctors confirmed rabies infection. Later, he was shifted to Alappuzha MCH where his condition worsened. He died on Friday morning.
