Sylvatic rabies - what does this mean
Sylvatic rabies is caused by a virus that is spread through the saliva of infected wild animals, such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats. the virus enters the body through breaks in the skin or through mucous membranes, such as the eyes, nose, or mouth. it then travels through the nerves to the brain, where it causes inflammation and damage, leading to the symptoms of rabies.
What happens during the disease - sylvatic rabies
Sylvatic rabies is caused by the rabies virus, which is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of an infected wild animal. once the virus enters the body, it travels to the central nervous system, where it replicates and spreads to other organs. this leads to an acute inflammation of the brain, known as encephalitis, which causes symptoms such as fever, headache, confusion, paralysis, and eventually death.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Clinical examination of patient
- Testing of saliva and cerebrospinal fluid for rabies virus
- Testing of brain tissue for rabies virus
- Serological tests to detect antibodies against rabies virus
- Animal contact history of patient
- History of vaccination against rabies
- Imaging tests such as X-rays and MRI scans
- EEG (electroencephalogram) to detect any abnormalities in brain activity
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Reduce the symptoms of Sylvatic Rabies and prevent further transmission.
- Administering a vaccine to the patient.
- Providing supportive care to the patient, such as fluids, nutrition, and oxygen.
- Isolating the patient from other people and animals.
- Providing medications to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Conducting tests to determine the severity of the infection.
- Providing counseling to the patient and their family.
- Educating the patient and their family on the disease and prevention methods.
- Developing a plan for contact tracing and quarantine.
- Carrying out public health measures to reduce the risk of spread.
- Encouraging the patient to practice good hygiene.
No Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Sylvatic rabies - Prevention
The best way to prevent sylvatic rabies is to avoid contact with wild animals, especially those that may be infected. vaccinating domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, can also help reduce the risk of transmission. additionally, avoiding contact with wild animal carcasses and avoiding contact with wildlife in areas where rabies is known to be present can help reduce the risk of transmission.
