The clinical picture of rabies in man

Abstract: After an incubation period of one to two months rabies presents with non-specific prodromal symptoms and often with paraesthesiae of the bitten area. As in canine rabies there are furious and dumb forms of the disease. In man, furious rabies is characterised by hydrophobia: terror and excitation with spasms of inspiratory muscles, larynx and pharynx precipitated by attempts to drink and by a variety of other stimuli. Hydrophobia may represent an exaggerated respiratory tract irritant reflex with associated aro… Show more

“…In the encephalitic form, patients have episodes of generalized arousal or hyperexcitability, which are separated by lucid periods. 73 Patients may have aggressive behavior, confusion, and hallucinations. Fever is common, and signs of autonomic dysfunction, including hypersalivation, sweating, piloerection, and priapism, may be present.…”

“…La aparente vulnerabilidad de las células CR+ en la corteza del cíngulo afectada por el virus 'fijo' de la rabia podría estar relacionada con los efectos de esta enfermedad sobre el sistema autónomo (8)(9)(10)(11)15,16). La circunvolución del cíngulo hace parte del sistema límbico y el área de estudio aquí descrita corresponde a la corteza prefrontal medial (áreas 24 y 25) (38).…”

“…Las alteraciones del sistema gabaérgico pueden provocar alteraciones motoras y emocionales (6,7). El cuadro clínico de la rabia, aunque puede variar individualmente, reúne algunas características que sugieren efectos sobre el sistema gabaérgico: mioclonía, agitación, confusión, alteraciones emocionales, convulsiones generalizadas, comportamiento agresivo y fases alternas de hiperexcitación y relajación (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). La posible participación de este sistema neurotransmisor en la patogénesis de la rabia ha sido sugerida por algunos investigadores (12).…”
