clinically ill human or animal are considered infectious for rabies. Initial symptoms of rabies in
humans often include fever, pain or altered sensations at the wound site, headache, and malaise. As the disease progresses, more overt and progressive neurologic symptoms develop and can include limb weak- ness or paralysis, behavior changes, hallucinations, insomnia, hydropho- bia (abnormal fear of water) and/ or aerophobia (abnormal fear of air fl ow), seizures, and coma, followed in almost all cases by death. In animals, the fi rst symptoms
of rabies may be nonspecifi c and include lethargy, fever, vomiting, and anorexia. Signs progress within days to
cerebral dysfunction, cranial nerve dysfunction, ataxia, weakness, pa- ralysis, seizures, diffi culty breath- ing, diffi culty swallowing, exces- sive salivation, abnormal behavior, aggression, and/or self-mutilation, followed by death. Humans exposed to rabies
should receive timely PEP. Domes- tic animals exposed to rabies must either be euthanized or undergo PEP (if a licensed vaccine is avail- able for that species) and isolated for a specifi ed period of time, depend- ing on the vaccination status of the animal at the time of the exposure. ZCB personnel are available for
consultation related to potential ra- bies exposures, including exposure risk assessment, LRCA contact infor- mation, PEP recommendations and sources of rabies vaccine and HRIG for medical providers. To locate the regional ZCB offi ce for your area, call 512-776-7255, or visit www.
