May 15, 2015 at 16:24 comment added BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft In order for your factoid to be relevant, you need to include what percentage of vaccinated people who contract rabies die.

May 15, 2015 at 13:40 comment added Himarm @Noodlemanny actually i linked the wrong article lol, i had one with sources that linked me to this local one and i mis linked mah bad for coming off rude.
May 15, 2015 at 13:38 comment added Edward G-Jones @Himarm I wasn't refuting it as fact merely saying that the article isn't a reliable source.
May 15, 2015 at 13:32 comment added Himarm @Noodlemanny actually this girls story is all over the internet, her treatment was the first example of the milwaukee protocol. so yes its fact. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milwaukee_protocol
May 15, 2015 at 13:29 comment added Edward G-Jones Unfortunately local news isn't exactly the most reliable source :P and of course they don't validate their claim.
May 15, 2015 at 13:27 comment added Himarm mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/article/… this girl is the apperently the first documented case of survival, only 8 years ago...
May 15, 2015 at 13:24 comment added kutschkem Read the Wikipedia page, please, and don't discuss with me through comments about things we both don't know about. The treatment I cite has only been applied to a few people and is fairly new, and difficult to pull off. (Apparently) I understand the "of the first 43" to mean that there were only 43 up to now. Note that Wikipedia says in the US there are only like 2 or three deaths per year, most are in Asia and Africa.
May 15, 2015 at 13:06 comment added Edward G-Jones Interesting, this would definitely suggest that there are many more survivors than just ten, if out of 43 there are already 5 survivors. I guess the majority of cases occur in LEDCs so most patients don't/can't receive proper care and so are substantially more likely to die.
May 15, 2015 at 12:36 comment added kutschkem I cite Wikipedia: 5 of the first 43 patients (12%) treated with the Milwaukee protocol survived, and those receiving treatment survived longer than those not receiving the treatment.
May 15, 2015 at 12:34 comment added Edward G-Jones "the CFR is near 100%" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_disease_case_fatality_rates
May 15, 2015 at 12:33 comment added Edward G-Jones The survival rate of 8-12% doesn't seem to add up. On a list of disease fatality rates wiki says that Rabies has a untreated rate of "~100%"
May 15, 2015 at 12:29 comment added kutschkem Look on wikipedia, the entry on rabies has all the information you are looking for, and probably enough references. Your numbers are basically confirmed there, although the death number is a little smaller. Interesting to note is that according to Wikipedia, the normal treatment would be to vaccinate short after the infection (survival rate seems to be good with that treatment if done shortly after the infection), and the only succesful treatment without vaccination has a survival rate of 8-12%. All this please with a grain of salt, this comment is just the digest of a quick read on Wikipedia
