Patient with suspicious Rabies on Madagascar
Abstract
Rabies is a central nervous system disease caused by neurotropic viruses and is almost invariably fatal. Although it is a vaccine-preventable disease, rabies still poses a significant public health problem with estimated 55 000 deaths per year, especially in the developing world. Transmission almost always occurs through a bite of an infected animal that inoculates virus into wounds. The disease progresses from a nonspecific, prodromal phase to encephalitic, paralytic or atypical form of rabies. In the article we present the case of a 24-year old patient with rabies, who came to the outpatient clinic of Slovenian doctors working in a village in southwestern Madagascar.Downloads
