Describe the epidemiology, course of diseases, and treatment of rabies.
|
Rabies occurs in wild animals and spreads to humans through bites or scratches. The virus attacks the CNS, taking six weeks to several months to travel via local neurons to the CNS. The infected animal's throat muscles contract in a spasm, causing an aversion to swallowing. A multidose vaccine is effective when given either before or just after the bite or scratch that transmitted the virus.
