Rabies causes viral encephalitis, which kills up to 70000 people/year worldwide. Infected animal saliva transmits viral encephalitis to humans. Rabies is one of the oldest known diseases, with cases dating back to 4000 years. For most of human history, a bite from a rabid animal was uniformly fatal. In the past, people were so scared of rabies that after being bitten by a potentially rabid animal, many would commit suicide. This activity describes the pathophysiology of rabies and stresses the importance of an interprofessional team in its management.
