In India, between 2008 and 2015 inclusive, there were 1610 animal-related fatalities, has a median yearly death rate of 201 (range, 186-216), or 4.8 per every 10 million persons overall. Approximately 10% of patients saw an increase within 24 to 72 hours, with the site turning reddish to bluish in 2 to 4 hours.

Conclusion: 1610 people died because of animal encounters between 2008 and 2015 inclusive, with a median of 201 deaths per year (range, 186-216 deaths), translating to an overall mortality frequency of 4.8 deaths per 10 million due to inadequate clinical care in primary care.
