Rabies

Rabies | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the treatments for the infection?

There are no treatments once the infection is established. When exposure to an infected animal is suspected, rabies prevention should be started immediately. Rabies vaccine injections are given the day the person is exposed and on days 3, 7, 14, and 28 after exposure.

How is the infection monitored?

If a person is treated before symptoms occur, they are watched carefully to make sure they don't develop rabies. Once symptoms develope, death usually occurs. Treatment can be tried in an intensive care unit, but is generally not successful.
