| Clinical diagnosis of human rabies is challenging in the United States (U.S.) due to the rarity of human cases, non-specific symptoms, and infrequent attainment of a potential exposure history. The traditional presentations of rabies, furious and paralytic, are reported in regions of endemic canine rabies, but have not been systematically characterized among rabies cases in the U.S. This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics of patients in the U.S. that are associated with rabies to aid in diagnosis and surveillance. |

| Encephalitis is a severe neurologic syndrome caused by a variety of infectious and noninfectious pathologies. In many instances a definitive etiology of encephalitis is not identified, but a study of encephalitis in California found that 0.3% of cases referred for further evaluation to a specialized diagnostic facility (Glaser, Gilliam et al. 2003) was due to rabies. Under recognition of human rabies in the United States by healthcare providers may account for missed diagnoses of rabies. The purpose of this investigation was to estimate the number of encephalitis-related deaths in the United States and the proportion due to rabies specifically. We reviewed human mortality data in the United States between 1999-2008 and identified encephalitis-associated... |
