title: [Clinical manifestations of rabies in the human. Case report and review].
abstract: Clinical symptoms and course in a 28 year old woman who suffered from rabies are reported. Neurophysiological and neuropathological findings in this patient, who died 21 days after developing initial symptoms, are presented in more detail. This disease appears to be rare in Central Europe. It can be treated effectively only by means of early detection and a special vaccination programme. Late recognition of lyssa specific symptoms in non-vaccinated patients is invariably associated with a fatal outcome. A review of current knowledge concerning rabies research is presented.
