Rabies

Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus of the Lyssavirus genus, within the family Rhabdoviridae. Its primary mode of transmission to humans is through bites or saliva-contaminated scratches from infected mammals such as dogs, bats, raccoons, or foxes. Transmission can also occur if infectious saliva contacts abraded skin or intact mucous membranes, including the conjunctiva.Viral Entry and Early ReplicationOnce introduced at the bite or scratch...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Rabbit syndrome (RS) is an involuntary movement disorder.
  • It is characterized by rapid, fine mouth movements resembling rabbit chewing.
  • RS is frequently linked to antipsychotic medication use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical symptoms, prevalence, and etiology of Rabbit syndrome.
  • To outline recommended treatments for RS.
  • To provide clinical and educational implications for nurses regarding RS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on Rabbit syndrome.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation and associated factors.
  • Synthesis of treatment strategies and nursing implications.

Main Results:

  • RS is often misdiagnosed as tardive dyskinesia or pseudoparkinsonism.
  • Despite being rare, RS is highly treatable when identified.
  • A knowledge gap exists in nursing literature regarding RS.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses must be able to differentiate RS from other movement disorders.
  • Early recognition and diagnosis are key to successful treatment.
  • Increased awareness and education on RS are necessary in nursing practice.
