Re: Dying From Rabies
The Milwaukee protocol is an experimental course of treatment of an infection of rabies in a human being. The treatment involves putting the patient into a chemically induced coma and administering antiviral drugs. It was developed and named by Dr. Rodney Willoughby, Jr., M.D., following the successful treatment of Jeanna Giese.[1] (In 2004) Giese, a teenager from Wisconsin, became the first of only six patients known to have survived symptomatic rabies without receiving the rabies vaccine.[2] The Milwaukee protocol is sometimes referred to as the "Wisconsin protocol". The reasons for Giese's survival under the Milwaukee protocol remain controversial. While the treatment appears to have worked as planned, her doctors suggest Giese might have been infected with a particularly weak form of the virus, or because she was bitten in a site far from the brain provided her unusually strong immune system sufficient time to fight the virus. When admitted to the hospital, no live virus, only antibodies, could be isolated from her body, and the bat was not recovered for testing. Giese's treatment regimen has since undergone revision. Two of 25 patients treated under the first protocol survived. A further 10 patients have been treated under the revised protocol, with a further two survivors. In June 2011, yet another young child survived infection with rabies without receiving the vaccine before showing symptoms. Precious Reynolds, an eight-year-old girl from Willow Creek, California, contracted the disease in April 2011, but did not receive medical care until mid-May, after her grandmother took her to the doctor because of flulike symptoms that grew so serious her grandmother said they resembled polio. The hospital said doctors followed the protocol established by Giese. Reynolds was placed in a drug-induced coma and received antiviral medications. She spent two weeks in intensive care undergoing the treatments. taken in part from wikipedia. you can read the complete article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukee_protocol |
