Podcast # 489: Bats & Rabies

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • The CDC recommends rabies prophylaxis if there was a direct encounter with a possibly rabid animal except...
  • Bats are treated differently since their bites may be very superficial and not seen/felt. All people with possible close encounters with a bat should receive rabies prophylaxis
  • From 1990-2007 there were 34 rabies cases associated with bats:
    • 6 of these had a reported bat bite
    • 15 there was a reported exposure but no reported bite
    • 11 had no reported bat exposure but DNA testing revealed that the rabies came from a bat
