Rabies, unspecified - what does this mean
Rabies is a viral disease that is typically spread through the saliva of an infected animal, usually through a bite. it can also be spread through contact with an infected animal's mucous membranes or open wounds. once the virus enters the body, it travels to the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and eventually death.
What happens during the disease - rabies, unspecified
Rabies is caused by a virus known as the rabies virus, which is a member of the rhabdoviridae family. the virus is typically transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected animal, such as a bat, fox, raccoon, skunk, or dog. once the virus enters the body, it travels along the nerves to the brain, where it multiplies and causes inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. this inflammation leads to the symptoms associated with rabies, such as fever, headache, confusion, and paralysis. in some cases, the virus can also cause death.
