| What is the significance of temperature change in animals with rabies? | not significant and driveling may or may not be noted | Aerophobia and hydrophobia are not present in dog rabies In any animal, the first sign is a change in behavior, which may be indistinguishable from a gastrointestinal disorder, injury, foreign body in the mouth, poisoning or an infectious disease.

Animals usually stop eating and drinking and may seek solitude. | 270 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769335160_TRAINING-MODULE-FOR-MEDICAL-OFFICERS.pdf | Temperature change is not significant and driveling may or may not be noted. | 70 | page=70,block=5 | 0.850 | valid |

| What are the characteristics of Rabies Immunoglobulins (RIG)? | anti-rabies antibodies with the ability to bind rabies virus | • Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) are anti-rabies antibodies with the ability to bind rabies virus. When injected locally into and around the wound(s), RIG will neutralize the rabies virus directly at the site of the bite providing passive immunity and immediate protection. • Even the best of modern vaccines takes 10-14 days (or three injections minimum on days 0,3 and 7) to elicit the protective antibody titre (or more than 0. IU/mL of serum) and thus RIG cover this vulnerable short incubation (or window period) following exposures /severe wounds before it is physiologically possible for the victim to begin producing his/her antibodies • Currently, two types of RIGs (ERIG & HRIG) are available for passive immunization (Annexure-1). | 34 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769335160_TRAINING-MODULE-FOR-MEDICAL-OFFICERS.pdf | • Rabies Immunoglobulin (RIG) are anti-rabies antibodies with the ability to bind rabies virus. | 29 | page=29,block=3 | 0.700 | valid |

| What does the term 'furious rabies' refer to? | animals in which the excitative phase is predominant | The clinical course, particularly in dogs, can be divided into 3 phases: the prodromal, the excitative and the paralytic. The term “furious rabies” refers to animals in which the excitative phase is predominant and “dumb or paralytic rabies” to those in which the excitative phase is extremely short or absent and the disease progresses quickly to the paralytic phase. Aerophobia and hydrophobia are not present in dog rabies In any animal, the first sign is a change in behavior, which may be indistinguishable from a gastrointestinal disorder, injury, foreign body in the mouth, poisoning or an infectious disease. Temperature change is not significant and driveling may or may not be noted. Animals usually stop eating and drinking and may seek solitude. Frequently, the urogenital tract is irritated or stimulated as evidenced by frequent urination, erection in the male and sexual desire. | 158 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769335160_TRAINING-MODULE-FOR-MEDICAL-OFFICERS.pdf | The term “furious rabies” refers to animals in which the excitative phase is predominant and “dumb or paralytic rabies” to those in which the excitative phase is extremely short or absent and the disease progresses quickly to the paralytic phase. | ||||
| What is a defining characteristic of paralytic rabies? | bilateral global motor weakness resulting in bilateral facial weakness and quadriparesis, with relative sparing of the sensory system | With time classic symptoms and rabies encephalitis develop including hydrophobia, aerophobia and hypersalivation, agitation and even priapism. Paralytic rabies: Paralytic rabies is relatively uncommon accounting only for 20% of CNS infections in humans. It is characterized by bilateral global motor weakness resulting in bilateral facial weakness and quadriparesis, with relative sparing of the sensory system 1,3. It clinically resembles Guillain-Barré syndrome Pathology: Once introduced into the soft tissues, the virus enters unmyelinated nerve fibres and travels retrogradely up the axons to the dorsal root ganglia, which can result in neuropathic pain 3. Once it reaches the central nervous system dissemination is rapid accounting for the fulminant clinical course 2,3. | 277 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769335160_TRAINING-MODULE-FOR-MEDICAL-OFFICERS.pdf | It is characterized by bilateral global motor weakness resulting in bilateral facial weakness and quadriparesis, with relative sparing of the sensory system 1,3. | 20 |
