Facts

Rabies is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, causes an

acute inflammation of the brain. Along with HIV, tetanus and other diseases, an it is endemic in parts of America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Rabies is caused by lyssaviruses. It is spread with the saliva, when an infected animal bites or scratches a human or other animal. 
Dogs are the most common animal involved. In the Americas, bat bites are the most common source of rabies infections in humans.

Facts

Rabies kill up to 59,000 people each year (or 160

people a day). About 15 million people undergo treatment after exposure to animals with rabies.
Early symptoms can include fever and tingling, later followed by violent movements, aggressiveness, uncontrolled excitement, fear of water, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness.
Rabies cannot be cured once the symptoms appear and almost always ends in death. It is necessary to consult a doctor and start medical treatment immediately.
Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease, but in some cases immediate washing of the wound with soap and water after contact with a rabid animal can save lives.

Pasteur’s Contribution

In 1885 a French biologist Louis Pasteur published a method

for protecting dogs against rabies;
A dog exposed to rabies was protected by inoculation with an emulsion prepared from the dried spinal cord of a diseased rabbit;
Pasteur had the chance to test this same method on humans when Joseph Meister, a nine-year-old boy who was bitten by a rabid dog was brought to him in July of 1885;
Joseph was injected over several days with the emulsions;
After 2 weeks, Joseph was given an injection of virus that had maximal virulence when tested in a rabbit ;
Joseph survived as did thousands of others treated by the same procedure.

Methods of Cure Rabies Vaccine: A killed virus vaccine (Human Diploid

Methods of Cure

Rabies Vaccine: A killed virus vaccine (Human Diploid Cell

Vaccine, HDCV) grown in human fibroblasts is available for safe use in humans.
The unusually long incubation period of the virus permits the effective use of active immunization with vaccine post-exposure.
If rabies has not been diagnosed and the victim is not treated with a vaccine, it is nearly always fatal, and treatment is typically supportive.
