Paralytic rabies: An acute flaccid myelitis after inadequate post exposure prophylaxis. Trop Doct. 2019 May 27;:49475519852223 Authors: Pannu AK, Kumar RV, Vijaykumar D, Priya L, Singh H, Bhalla A Abstract Rabies has two distinct clinical syndromes, encephalitic (or 'furious') and paralytic (or 'dumb'). The paralytic form presents as acute flaccid myelitis and is more common in patients who received post-exposure anti-rabies vaccination without rabies immunoglobulins. We have recently had the opportunity to manage a middle-aged man presenting as 'dumb' paralytic rabies. PMID: 31132966 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
