Minnesota reports rare death from rabies

 


Minneapolis — The state health department announced Friday that a Minnesota resident who came into contact with a bat in July died from rabies.

The person's death was a rare event because fewer than 10 people die from rabies each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The person is over 65 years old and was exposed to bats in western Minnesota in July, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.

CDC officials confirmed on September 20 that the animal had been diagnosed with rabies at a lab in Atlanta. The state health department said in a news release that it is working to assess whether more people have been exposed to the disease, but said there is no ongoing risk to the public.

Officials said the deaths prompted a recommendation for the public to avoid contact with bats. Bat teeth are so small that a bite cannot be felt and may even leave a noticeable mark.

rabies It is caused by a virus that invades the central nervous system and is usually fatal to animals and humans. Rabies is almost always fatal if left untreated. But rabies treatments have proven to be mostly highly effective at preventing rabies after infection, state health officials said. Treatment should begin before rabies symptoms appear, they added.

Dr. Stacey Holzbauer, the state's public health veterinarian, also advised people to get their household pets and livestock vaccinated against rabies.

Rabies-related deaths in the United States have fallen from more than 100 per year in the early 1900s to less than five per year in recent years, according to the Department of Health. Approximately 70% of infectious diseases acquired in Japan are thought to be caused by exposure to bats.
