A case of furious rabies in a man following unusual long incubation period
Page No. : 127-128
ABSTRACT
A civil worker exposed to bite injury of a rabid dog on lower part of a limb nine years ago was treated palliatively and succumbed to rabies. He had neither undergone pre-exposure nor post-exposure prophylaxis to rabies after exposure to the dog bite. The clinical signs were suggestive of rabies and the corneal impression smear, by immunofluorescence, revealed viral particles.Keywords: Corneal smear, direct FAT, long incubation period, rabies, rhabdo virus.
