We report a case of rabies acquired in Zambia by a 45-year-old @entity1 who presented with a history of an @entity683 , @entity854 and signs of @entity2401 . A provisional @entity23798 was made. Within 12 h of admission the @entity1 developed features of rabies that included @entity12539 . She was artificially paralysed and ventilated electively. Empirical antibiotic therapy was given also. Signs of @entity2401 and @entity221 disappeared within 48 h. Her clinical condition remained stable but she required heavy sedation. On the ninth day after admission the @entity1 developed features of inappropriate secretion of @entity3488 and gradually became water-logged. Intake of fluid was therefore restricted. Her level of consciousness deteriorated progressively to the point where sedation was no longer required. @entity1620 was diagnosed 14 days after admission.
