title: Acute ascending motor paralysis due to rabies: a clinicopathological report.
abstract: An unusual presentation of a not so uncommon disease is described. Practical difficulties in arriving at a diagnosis of paralytic rabies are discussed. An enquiry of exposure and suspicion of rabies in atypical Landry's paralysis is stressed. The importance of autopsy to confirm either of the diagnoses is emphasized.
