A Danish woman in Guinea-Bissau was possibly exposed to rabies, when examining her dog for a foreign body in its throat. The vaccinated dog was not furious, but with progressing disease, it developed encephalitis, hydrophobia, and excess production of saliva, and finally died. The woman was transferred to the rabies centre in Senegal for post-exposure treatment. Considering the fatality of rabies, and the necessity of immediate treatment if exposed prior to vaccination, long-term expatriates in rabies endemic countries should be advised to consider rabies vaccination.
