    RABIES, HUMAN - USA (08): (WISCONSIN) HUMAN ******************************************* A ProMED-mail post <http://www.promedmail.org> ProMED-mail is a program of the International Society for Infectious Diseases <http://www.isid.org> Date: 1 Sep 2011 Source: Chicago Tribune [edited] <http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/c...,2190579.story> A 70-year-old Wisconsin man died after contracting rabies last year [2010], the 3rd case of the rare disease in Wisconsin since 2000. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that all 3 cases involved had known or suspected contact with bats, and only one of the 3 victims survived. State officials would not say where the man lived or was treated. However, contributors to the report include doctors from Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee and West Allis. The man sought treatment in December 2010 and died 13 days later. The CDC says the man's wife reported bats were present when they were selling firewood, although he did not report a bite. His wife and grandchild and 5 health care workers received the rabies vaccination as a precaution. -- Communicated by: ProMED-mail <promed@promedmail.org> [The authorities were extremely slow in positing notice of this, but as fall season is upon the northern portion of the US, this serves as a warning. If there is close contact with bats, report it, and seek medical assistance. Bites may occur, and the victim may not realize they have been bitten or brush it off as a scratch from the firewood or the construction material or other events. A brush with bats or other suspicious wildlife should be reported. Treatment with post exposure prophylaxis may have saved this man's life. - Mod.TG] [see also: Rabies - USA:07) (NY) soldier, RFI 20110824.257 Rabies - USA (04): human, survival 20110613.1802 Rabies - USA (03): (CA) human, survival 20110606.1728 Rabies - USA (02): (CA) human, survival 20110527.1619 Rabies - USA: (CA) human, RFI 20110524.1576 2004 ---- Rabies, human, bat - USA (WI) (07): recovery 20041231.3459] .................................................s b/tg/msp/dk *################################################# #########* ************************************************** ********** ProMED-mail makes every effort to verify the reports that are posted, but the accuracy and completeness of the information, and of any statements or opinions based thereon, are not guaranteed.
