Rabies berakibat fatal jika post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) tidak diberikan sebelum pasien mengalami gejala berat. Tujuan kajian ini memperoleh gambaran karakteristik pasien dan mekanime pemberian vaksin anti rabies (VAR) pada pasien GHPR di RSPI Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso tahun 2014- 2016. Metode : kajian menggunakan desain studi deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif terhadap data rekam medis pasien suspect rabies. Jumlah sampel yang diperoleh sesuai kriteria inklusi sejumlah 39 kasus yang diambil secara random. Hasil : Karakteristik pasien mayoritas perempuan 203 kasus (51.39%), kelompok umur dewasa 213 kasus (53.92%), tidak bekerja 251 kasus (63.54%) dan berdomisili di DKI Jakarta 337 kasus (85.32%). Kelompok gigitan hewan sebagian besar adalah kelompok hewan penular rabies (HPR) 341 kasus (86.3%) dengan kriteria luka gigitan kategori luka 2 sebanyak 275 kasus (69.6%), dan di area kaki sebanyak 172 kasus (43.54%), mendapatkan PEP awal dalam waktu ≤ 24 jam 329 kasus (83.3%) dan menyelesaikan jadwal PEP hingga kunjungan VAR 3 sebesar183 kasus (46,33%). Kesimpulan : Dari 395 kasus sebagian besar kasus HPR dengan luka gigitan kategori 2 dengan lokasi gigitan di kaki, pemberian PEP < 24 jam dan menyelesaikan hingga kunjuangan VAR 3.

Rabies is fatal if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is not given before the patient experiences severe symptoms. The Objective to obtain an overview of patient characteristics and the mechanism of administration of the anti-rabies vaccine (VAR) in GHPR patients at RSPI Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso in 2014- 2016. Method : the study used a descriptive study design with a quantitative approach to the patient's medical record data suspect rabies with the specified criteria. The number of samples obtained according to the inclusion criteria was 395 cases taken randomly. Results : The majority of female patients were 203 cases (51.39%), adult age groups were 213 cases (53.92%), unemployment was 251 cases (63.54%) and domiciled in DKI Jakarta were 337 cases (85.32%). Most of the animal bite groups were rabies transmitting animal groups (HPR) of 341 cases (86.3%) with the criteria of bite wounds in the wound category 2 as many as 275 cases (69.6%), and in the foot area as many as 172 cases (43.54%), getting the initial PEP in time ≤ 24 hours 329 cases (83.3%) and completing the PEP schedule until VAR 3 visits were 183 cases (46.33%). Conclusion : Of the 395 cases most of the HPR cases were categorized as bite 2 with the location of the bite in the leg, given PEP <24 hours and completing until the VAR visit 3.
