Survival is rarely reported in rabies, which is considered to be almost universally fatal. We report the clinical and radiological findings of eight patients with laboratory-confirmed rabies who survived the illness. With the exception of one patient who recovered with mild sequelae, all survivors had poor functional outcomes. The reported survival from rabies in recent years may reflect an increased awareness of the disease and greater access to better critical care facilities in rabies-endemic countries. Nonetheless, there is an urgent need to focus on preventive strategies to reduce the burden of this dreadful disease in rabies-endemic countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.18-0711","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,6]],"date-time":"2018-11-06T07:00:26Z","timestamp":1541487626000},"page":"165-169","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["Case Reports: Survival from Rabies: Case Series from India"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Reeta S.","family":"Mani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurovirology, WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research in Rabies, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tina","family":"Damodar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurovirology, WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research in Rabies, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Divyashree","family":"S","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases, MGM New Bombay Hospital, Mumbai, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srikanth","family":"Domala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Neurology and Neurorehabilitation, Rainbow Children\u2019s Hospital, Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birendra","family":"Gurung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, District Hospital Namchi, Namchi, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vilas","family":"Jadhav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arya Child Epilepsy and Neurology Clinic, Kolhapur, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramesh","family":"Konanki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Neurology and Neurorehabilitation, Rainbow Children\u2019s Hospital, Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lokesh","family":"Lingappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Neurology and Neurorehabilitation, Rainbow Children\u2019s Hospital, Hyderabad and Secunderabad, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sathish Kumar","family":"Loganathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Child Health, Christian Medical College and Hospital, Vellore, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajendra","family":"Salagare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salagare Children and Eye Hospital, Chikodi, India;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priyash","family":"Tambi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Seth G.S.
