Все більше лікарів різних спеціальностей по всій Україні серед своїх пацієнтів зустрічають вимушених переселенців та учасників бойових дій зі східних областей У...раїни. Зважаючи на те, що такі події на території України розгортаються вперше за всі роки незалежності, вони є незвичними, нетиповими, такими, що виходять за межі буденності. Це, в свою чергу, накладає значний відбиток на психічне життя українців – як тих, що знаходяться в областях, де триває протистояння, так і в тих, хто веде мирний спосіб життя. Метою даної статті буде узагальнення відомостей про посттравматичний стресовий розлад та опис особливостей його перебігу, адже сьогодні він все частіше зустрічається в українців, які пережили психотравмуючі події.

Rabies is a fatal viral zoonosis and serious public health problem.1 All mammals are believed to be susceptible to the disease, and for the purposes of this document, use of the term animal refers to mammals. The disease is an acute, progressive encephalitis caused by viruses in the genus Lyssavirus....
2 Rabies virus is the most important lyssavirus globally. In the
United States, multiple rabies virus variants are maintained in wild mammalian reservoir populations such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. Although the United States has been declared free from transmission of canine rabies virus variants, there is always a risk of reintroduction of these variants.The rabies virus is usually transmitted from animal to animal through bites. The incubation period is
highly variable. In domestic animals, it is generally 3 to 12 weeks, but can range from several days to months, exceeding 6 months.8 Rabies is communicable during the period of salivary shedding of rabies virus. Experimental and historic evidence documents that dogs, cats, and ferrets shed the virus for a few days prior to the onset of clinical signs and during illness. Clinical signs of rabies are variable and include inappetance, dysphagia, cranial nerve deficits, abnormal behavior, ataxia, paralysis, altered vocalization, and seizures. Progression to death is rapid. There are currently no known effective rabies antiviral drugs.
