Rabies can be divided into two kinds in clinic. One is manic type, which is also the most common type in China, including water phobia, wind phobia, dysphagia and dyspnea. Paroxysmal pharyngeal muscle spasm or systemic spasm will occur during the excitement period. The other is paralysis, which has no obvious symptoms of excitement in clinical manifestations and is rare in China.

Therefore, the symbolic symptom of identifying rabies is-fear of water and fear of wind. Even if rabies patients hear the sound of water, they will stimulate severe spasm of pharyngeal muscles, so they are also called "water phobia". Strong light, noise, touch or airflow may also cause convulsions.

Extended data

A recent study by the Mayo Clinic in the United States shows that one-third of patients bitten by cats need hospitalization, and the bites on wrists and other hand joints are the most dangerous.

The study was completed by a team led by Carlson, a hand plastic surgeon at Mayo Clinic, and published in the new issue of American Journal of Hand Surgery.

From 2009 to 20 1 1 year, among the 93 patients bitten by cats in Mayo Clinic, 57 patients needed hospitalization for about 3 days, and others needed hand surgery.

Carlson said that the risk of cats biting hand joints is the highest, because cats' sharp teeth can cause deep bite wounds, which may "sow" bacteria in cats' mouths to human hand joints and tendon sheaths. However, the human immune system has very limited resistance to bacteria propagated in joints and tendon sheaths, and some bacteria carried by cats are still very resistant to antibiotics.

Researchers warned that people should pay attention to being bitten by cats. If the wrist and other joints are bitten or the skin of the wound is red and swollen, the patient should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
