[Clinical and ultrastructural study of a case of human rabies].
A patient of Morracan origin, aged 26 years, who died as a result of rabies after a 15 day illness in August 1976 in Bordeaux. No evidence of contamination was found by history from the patient and his family and friends nor by examination. A cerebral biopsy carried out a few hours before death confirmed the diagnosis by immunofluorescence, whilst examination under the optical microscope demonstrated Negri bodies and ultrastructural studies revealed rabies virus. These findings are discussed and compared with a few other cases reported in the literature with electron microscope studies.
