Abstract

Rabies is usually contracted through wounds and usually causes death in those infected. The major weapon against rabies infection is postexposure immunization, and by virtue of treating numerous animal bites and scratch wounds, emergency physicians play a key role in keeping rabies rare in the United States. Proper management requires knowledge of the changing epidemiology of animal rabies and its impact on postexposure prophylaxis.
