Rabies is a viral disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans. Recently, most human deaths from rabies have been caused by transmission from bats, in many cases without a documented bite or exposure. Rabies is fatal if untreated prior to onset of symptoms. Deaths from human rabies in the United States are rare, largely because of animal control measures and postexposure prophylaxis of people who have been bitten or exposed to the virus. Primary care providers play a pivotal role in the prevention of rabies. Preexposure prevention involves education and immunization of persons at high risk for rabies exposure. Rabies is difficult to diagnose antemortem because of the nonspecific presentation of signs and symptoms that may mimic those of respiratory or abdominal infections. Diagnosing rabies once symptoms begin will not save the victim's life but will help to minimize exposure to others, allow for identification and prophylaxis of those who may have been exposed, and identify the animal vector.

La rabia es una zooantroponosis de consecuencias fatqles para el hombre, 2400 años antes de Cristo se la mencionó en el código de Eshhuna, posteriormente Hipócrates, Galeno y Esculapio describieron la patología y los riesgos de contraerla. Zoonosis cosmopolitay endémica en un gran número de países, sin embargo, se conocen zonas libres de la enfermedad y otras que padecen epizootias ocasionales. Países catalogados como enzoóticos, se encasillan en la categoría de tercermundistas o subdesarrollados; en latinoamérica, la mayor parte de casos ocurren en la comunidad andina y centroamérica. El Ecuador, lamentablemente, es la nación que en estos últimos años presenta la mayor incidencia de casos de rabia humana y canina en el hemisferio; para 1996 exhibió la tasa más alta en las Américas (tanto para rabia humana y canina), debido a una serie de factores técnicos y epidemiológicos, los cuales han contribuido a que esta enzootia alcance caracteres alarmantes y se convierta en la actualidad en uno de los principales problemas sanitarios. Para el año de 1997, la situación de la rabia se modificó radicalmente, lográndose una reducción cercana al 70 por ciento al comparar con los reportes de 1996. El presente estudio analiza la situación de la rabia en el Ecuador, los factores que han determinado la reducción de la incidencia, el impacto de las acciones implementadas por el Programa Nacional de Control y Vigilancia de la Rabia, así como las medidas previstas en el año de 1998 para controlar esta enfermedad. Se espera que, gracias a las acciones a ser utilizadas, se alcance los objetivos previstos por el Programa: eliminar de la rabia urbana del Ecuador para el año 2000.

Rabies remains an incurable disease which is endemic in many parts of the world, particularly the Indian sub-continent. Strict muzzling orders in the latter part of the 19th century and today's modern quarantine laws have ensured the disease has remained eradicated from Britain. Isolated imported cases of human rabies do still occur and present a variety of problems for both nursing and medical staff. This article looks at the clinical features of the disease, the success in developing a potent yet safe vaccine and questions the value and justification in using an intensive care environment for rabid patients who are essentially suffering from a terminal illness.
