Overview

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Other diagnostic studies associated with rabies may include:
    • The nucleic acid sequence ̶ based amplification (NASBA) technique on urine samples may be helpful in the future diagnosis of rabies.
    • The nucleic acid sequence ̶ based amplification (NASBA) technique on CSF and saliva may be used for the diagnosis of rabies after 2 days of start of symptoms.[1][2]
