	Guide for the Medical, Veterinary and allied Professions Bishop, G.; Durrheim, D.; Kloeck, P. et al. Department: Agriculture, Foresty and Fisheries - Republic of South Africa (2010) CC Open external link (101) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a disease of animals but too often the outcome is gauged in terms of human suffering and death. Despite this, in areas of the world where rabies is endemic there is often a lack of communication between veterinary and medical professionals, to the extent that the disease continues to thrive and potential victims are not treated. The problem is partly exacerbated by a lack of awareness and experience of the disease and of what to do when confronted by suspect cases. In these technologically advanced days, although it is possible to learn “all there is to know” about almost any subject, it is sometimes difficult to distil the essence Tags: Rabies, animals, guide, veterinary, medical professionals, Treatment, Source: https://www.nicd.ac.za/assets/files/B5_r
	Rabies - Overview National Health Service NHS (2023) CC Open external link (78) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a rare but serious infection that's usually caught from a bite or scratch of an infected animal. It's almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but vaccination and early treatment can prevent it Tags: Rabies, infection, animals, symptoms, vaccinaton, Treatment, Source: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/rabies/
	Laboratory techniques in rabies Fifth edition Volume 2 Rupprecht, C.; Fooks, A.; Abela-Ridder, B. World Health Organization WHO (2019) C_WHO Open external link (66) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies has an enormous impact on both agriculture and conservation biology, but its greatest burden is undeniably on public health. As such, routine methods for rapid risk assessment after human exposures to rabies as well as applications for laboratory-based surveillance, production of biologicals and management of this infectious disease are critical. Given its mandate to improve human health and control disease among its Member States, WHO has led the production of this fifth edition of Laboratory techniques in rabies Tags: Rabies, Public health, laboratory, Surveillance, biologicals, infection, technique, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream

	Rabies MSF medical guidlines MSF medical guidelines (2018) CC Open external link (78) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a viral infection of wild and domestic mammals, transmitted to humans by the saliva of infected animals through bites, scratches or licks on broken skin or mucous membranes. In endemic areas (Africa and Asia), 99% of cases are due to dog bites and 40% of cases are children under 15 years of age. Before symptoms develop, rabies can effectively be prevented by post-exposure prophylaxis. Once symptoms develop, rabies is fatal. There is no curative treatment; care is palliative Tags: Rabies, infection, animals, childen, Prevention, Treatment, palliative care, Source: https://medicalguidelines.msf.org/en/vie
	Signs of rabies Rabies - Bulletin - Europe; Rabies Information System of the World Health Organization (2022) CC Open external link (84) Add to my MEDBOX The incubation period (the time the virus spreads from the peripheral nerves near the site of the bite via the spinal cord to the brain – see transmission and pathogenesis) ranges in general between 2 and 3 month (2 weeks to 6 years are reported) depending on the site of infliction, the amount of virus and the virus strain. Due to its neurotropism all known lyssaviruses cause severe neurological symptoms as a result of an acute encephalitis. Therefore, clinical signs in humans and animals are very similar Tags: Rabies, virus, brain, clinical, Chagas, signs and symptoms, Source: https://who-rabies-bulletin.org/site-pag
	Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (71) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a viral zoonotic disease that causes progressive and fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Clinically, it has two forms: Furious rabies – characterized by hyperactivity and hallucinations. Paralytic rabies – characterized by paralysis and coma Tags: Rabies, Zoonotic diseases, brain, coma, virus, animals, Source: https://www.who.int/health-topics/rabies
	WHO Guide for Rabies Pre and Post Exposure Prophylaxis in Humans World Health Organization WHO (2014) C_WHO Open external link (70) Add to my MEDBOX WHO strongly recommends discontinuation of the nerve tissue vaccine, and replacement with modern concentrated and purified cell culture derived vaccines (CCDV) and embryonated eggbased rabies vaccines. These vaccines must comply with WHO criteria for potency and innocuity following satisfactory assessment in humans during well-designed field trial Tags: Rabies, vaccine, PEP, prophylaxis, Treatment, Source: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/
	Rabies Clinical and Laboratory Diagnosis Advisory Division of Public Health Surveillance and Response National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) (2022) CC Open external link (64) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a fatal viral disease, but is preventable in humans. The rabies virus is transmitted to humans through virus-laden saliva from a rabid animal, mostly dogs. The virus is shed in the saliva of an infected animal and can be introduced into another body through bites, scratches and any other wounds that transect the skin. Contact of the infected saliva with mucous membranes is also thought to be a possible route of infection, whereas contact of infected saliva with intact skin is not considered an exposure. Rabies is preventable through pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for individuals at high and continual risk, and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) Tags: Rabies, virus, animals, infection, PEP, Source: https://www.nicd.ac.za/wp-content/upload
	Rabies Key facts World Health Organization WHO (2023) C_WHO Open external link (54) Add to my MEDBOX Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease affecting the central nervous system. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually 100% fatal. In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission to humans. Yet, rabies can affect both domestic and wild animals. It spreads to people and animals via saliva, usually through bites, scratches or direct contact with mucosa (e.g. eyes, mouth or open wounds). Children between the age of 5 and 14 years are frequent victims Tags: Rabies, vaccine preventable diseases, Zoonotic diseases, Children, virus, Source: https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheet
