Rabies
Rabies
Rabies: A type of virus causes rabies, which is a fatal disease of the central nervous system. The virus is transmitted by animal bite. It grows and reproduces in animals such as dogs, bats, jackals, monkeys, cats and squirrels. An animal affected by the disease is called rabid. When a rabid animal bites a human, the virus enters the person’s body. Rabies affects the central nervous system (CNS) of the patient, who dies within 3-5 days of the onset of the disease.
Signs and Symptoms: The symptoms of rabies start with headache and fever. This is followed by salivation, muscle pain in the throat, and periods of excitement and depression. Finally, the throat muscles become paralysed, and the patient is unable to swallow and drink water. This leads to a fear of water (hydrophobia). Human rabies is therefore also called hydrophobia.
Control: Once the disease develops, no drug can save the patient. Chance of surviving after being bitten by a rabid animal is to eliminate the virus before it affects the CNS (Central Nervous System)
Prevention after an animal bite: The following steps should be taken to prevent rabies when an animal bites a person.
General preventive measures: Pets such as dogs and cats should be given antirabies vaccine. Stray animals should not be allowed to roam our streets. All those who handle animals regularly (zookeepers, veterinary surgeons) should take antirabies vaccine.
