Rabies Virus

Rabies is one of the deadliest viral diseases known to medicine. Spread through the saliva of infected animals — most often by bites — the rabies virus attacks the nervous system and, once symptoms appear, the survival rate is nearly zero.In this video, we explain the causes, rabies symptoms, and why hydrophobia (fear of water) is such a striking sign of the disease. We also cover transmission, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment options. Learn why vaccination and post-exposure prophylaxis remain the only effective defenses against rabies. #medicine #medicalstudent #medicalpodcast #rabiesvirus #rabies Hosted on Acast.
