A 75-year-old man from Lyari has been shifted to Jinnah Hospital in critical condition after showing symptoms of rabies, doctors said.

According to medical officials, the elderly man was bitten on the hand by a stray dog three months ago.

He has now developed symptoms consistent with rabies, including hydrophobia.

Doctors said the patient fell ill months after the dog bite and is currently under treatment.

So far this year, three people in Karachi have fallen victim to dog bites.
