Patients with hydrophobia (defined as phobic generalized spasms and
inspiratory spasms against a closed glottis in response to the offer of
a glass of water) or aerophobia (a similar response to blowing air
across the cheek) were defined clinically as having rabies encephalitis. Patients exhibited paresis, paralysis, dyspnea and
difficulties of speech, soreness or lethargy, photophobia, aerophobia,
hydrophobia, and coma, symptoms similar to those previously reported in
other vampire bat-transmitted rabies outbreaks (1,5,7,21-24). |
