PRO/AH/EDR> Rabies – USA (46): update, November 2015, corr

Rabies — United States
The comment in the 2nd segment below “One person and a dog have both tested positive for the rabies virus,” needs clarification. It does not match the headline of a human and canine being exposed. The link leads to an understanding that a human and a dog were exposed to 2 separate rabid raccoons. The statement leads the reader to expect more details of the most recent human rabies case. One can hope that prophylaxis was administered to both exposure victims.
