 ==Overview==
-When a person contracts rabies, they do not show symptoms immediately. The disease take a period of time to manifest in the body which is know as its period of [[incubation]]. Once symptoms arise, the patients condition deteriorates rapidly. There is not a great deal of time available to perform a routine physical examination. A patient will most likely present with some severe symptoms that may be misdiagnosed as diseases such as [[Guillain-Barre syndrome]].
 ==History and Symptoms ==
-* The first symptoms of rabies may be nonspecific flu-like signs — malaise, [[fever]], or [[headache]], which may last for days.
-* There may be discomfort or paresthesia at the site of exposure (bite), progressing within days to symptoms of cerebral dysfunction, [[anxiety]], [[confusion]], agitation, progressing to [[delirium]], abnormal behavior, [[hallucination]]s, and [[insomnia]].
