title: An acute, progressive encephalopathy.
abstract: Rabies holds the distinction of having the highest case-fatality ratio of any infectious disease. Aggressive public health campaigns have reduced the incidence of this disease in the United States to a record low. We report a case of this increasingly rare disease in a 70-year-old man in Wisconsin.
