Symptoms of rabies

summary

The route of rabies virus entering human body is as follows: firstly, it infects muscle cells, goes through the latent period in muscle cells, and then enters nerve cells through acetylcholine receptor between muscle cells and nerve cells. The average moving speed of rabies virus in peripheral nerve tissue is 3mm / h, and it can propagate and spread to the whole central nerve tissue in one day after it ascends to central nerve tissue (brain spinal cord). Symptoms of rabies? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of rabies

One of the most obvious symptoms is that in the early stage of rabies, patients will have dizziness, nausea, vomiting, even foaming, convulsions. Many ordinary patients think that they have a cold, but in fact, the general cold will not cause convulsions and high fever, which needs attention. The symptoms are somewhat similar to the onset of epilepsy.

Secondly, the early stage of rabies patients will be particularly afraid of cold and wind symptoms, they will feel cold all over the body on hot days, do not like to be blown by the wind, and see the water will produce a kind of fear from the inside out. Normal people are not afraid to see water.

Pain and abnormal sensation reappear outside the healed bite, such as hypersensitivity, chilly feeling, burning feeling, numbness and itching. However, it is difficult for children under 5 years old to describe these feelings, but sometimes they ask their parents to touch or scratch the original wound.

matters needing attention

Rabies is generally obtained through animals, so in our daily life, we should not contact those stray cats and dogs too much, and take self-protection measures. Once we are scratched or bitten by these cats and dogs, we can go to the hospital to get rabies vaccine as soon as possible.
