Australian Bat Lyssavirus in a child: the first reported case

Joshua R Francis et al. Pediatrics. 2014 Apr.

Abstract

Human infection with Australian Bat Lyssavirus is extremely rare and has not previously been reported in a child. We describe a fatal case of Australian Bat Lyssavirus in an 8-year-old child, and review the literature pertaining to the diagnosis and management of lyssavirus infection with consideration of its applicability to this emerging strain.

Keywords: Australia; bat; child; lyssavirus; rabies.
