On the 17th of July, a 5 year old girl died of rabies in the Sarawak General Hospital in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak in Malaysia. This little girl became the fourth child victim of rabies from this small area this month, and the rabies virus is suspected as having crossed into Sarawak from the Kalimantan region of Indonesia.
