Rabies is a nearly uniformly fatal disease for individuals who develop clinical symptoms. We report a case of a patient with paralytic rabies who survived after being treated with what is now known as Milwaukee protocol. This is only the third known case of rabies survival after being treated with the protocol. We present sequential magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the brain and lumbar spine throughout the course of her treatment. In doing so, we provide insight into the temporal evolution of MRI findings in the brain and lumbar spine.
狂犬病对于出现临床症状的个体而言几乎是一种必然致命的疾病。我们报告了一例麻痹型狂犬病患者,其在接受目前所知的密尔沃基方案治疗后存活。这是该方案治疗后已知的第三例狂犬病存活病例。我们展示了该患者在整个治疗过程中脑部和腰椎的序列磁共振成像(MRI)结果。通过这样做,我们深入了解了脑部和腰椎MRI结果的时间演变情况。
