but the presentation ofrabiesin places where domestic animals areimmunized is seldom this straightforward. As the disease becomes less common, physicians are less apt to consider the diagnosis. In some countries, an increasingly large percentage of cases are not associated with a known exposure to ...
Case presentation The epidemiological context and care of these cases was contrasting. Four had a clear history of being bitten by dogs, while one had an unclear biting history. Two individuals sought medical attention within a day of being bitten, whereas three sought care only after developing ...
Clinical presentation Two clinical forms of rabies disease are typically described: encephalitic (furious) and paralytic (dumb). The earliest neurological symptom in human beings is usually pain, paraesthesia, or pruritus at the site of infection because of viral replication in local dorsal root gang...
Animal species that present the highest transmission risk to humans include canines (domestic dogs predominantly, as well as foxes and coyotes), cats, raccoons, skunks, and bats. In many areas where canine rabies has been well-controlled and declared free of canine rabies, sylvatic rabies remains...
Dog-mediated rabies kills tens of thousands of people each year in India, representing one third of the estimated global rabies burden. Whilst the World Health Organization (WHO), World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) hav...
However, rare zoonotic events occur that have resulted in EBLV-1 infections of humans, sheep and a stone marten (Fooks et al., 2003). Previous work has shown that antibody responses in individuals vaccinated with the RABV hu... Wright,Edward,Temperton,... 被引量: 0发表: 0年 India's ...
rabies virus causes acute encephalitis with fatal outcome. The incubation period of rabies is quite variable in different cases as it is influenced by several factors. In humans, it is generally 1–3 months but may vary from less than one week to over a year. Because of the wide variation...
Comparative pathogenesis of rabies in bats and carnivores, and implications for spillover to humansBat-acquired rabies is becoming increasingly common, and its diagnosis could be missed partly because its clinical presentation differs from that of dog-acquired rabies. We reviewed the scientific ...
The epidemiological data for 22527 human rabies cases from January 1990 to July 2007 were obtained from the surveillance database of reportable diseases managed by the Ministry of Health of China. The rabies diagnosis in humans reported to the national surveillance data bank was based on the clinic...
Rabies virus causes progressive viral encephalomyelitis in humans. In the United States, the disease is largely controlled by the vaccination of dogs; however, in other parts of the world, human rabies remains a significant public health issue. This review focuses on the clinical presentation, ...
