Rabies: It is a viral disease that causes serious infection and progressive and fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. It is transmitted to humans and other animals through close contact with saliva from infected animals (bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membranes). It has two forms: Furious rabies (characterized by hyperactivity and hallucinations) and Paralytic rabies (characterized by paralysis and coma). Furious rabies symptoms are hyperactivity, excitable behaviour, hydrophobia (fear of water), aerophobia (fear of drafts or fresh air) and death that occurs after a few days due to cardio-respiratory arrest. Paralytic rabies runs a less dramatic and usually longer course than the furious form. Symptoms are muscles gradually becoming paralyzed, starting at the bite or scratch site, a coma slowly develops, and eventually, death occurs.
