US human to human case?
[edit]The article claims that the '78 corneal transplant case is "currently known to be the only human to human case of rabies in the United States." But i don't think this is true; in '04, rabies caused several US deaths after an organ transplant. Unless I'm mistaken about the meaning of human to human. I've removed the claim for now, but wondering if there's something I missed.

Tragedy in Germany: six transplants have rabies
[edit]Terrible tragedy looms in Germany: more recent news say all six transplants have rabies now. Added to the article. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4271453.stm
Mentioned in FoxTrot
[edit]This article was mentioned in a FoxTrot comic strip (the image) about Wikipedia today (May 7 2005), though it obviously didn't get the same attention that Warthog did as a result [1]. Just thought I'd mention it. --Phoenix-forgotten 17:52, 2005 May 7 (UTC)
Grammar and Spelling is Bad
[edit]The whole section, "Semi-Recent Unique Cases in Human Rabies" reads like a junior high school paper and is full of grammar and spelling errors Kptkrunch (talk) 21:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- You mean like this sentence: "This is through to be an extremely rare case in American medicine as human rabies has been eradicated for many years in the US, however it is thought that the treatment this man received wasn't through enough for doctors to treat him properly, without a blood sample they were unaware of how prevalent it was in his blood stream and gave him an insufficient amount of medication needed to halt the progression of the disease." I removed the section. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 22:46, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
2008 Brazil case
[edit]@Bon Courage I'm confused, the source provided is a WP:MEDRS source. It's a Brazilian medical journal reporting on previous reports of rabies in Brazil. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:48, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's a primary source comparing two protocols. So far as I can see it's only been cited in one (poor quality) review article, PMID:38275970 which says:
I don't propose we use this source either; Wikipedia needs to be exceptionally careful dealing with WP:EXCEPTIONAL claims. Bon courage (talk) 07:56, 22 August 2024 (UTC)The Recife protocol, first implemented in Brazil, is derived from the Milwaukee protocol but similarly failed to demonstrate a survival benefit
- I didn't look into the source itself. I just didn't see how it wasn't a MEDRS. It meets MEDRS but there can be issues beyond simply meeting basic criteria of being a reliable source. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I just went by Crossref, which doesn't[2] mark it is a review/meta-analysis. The publisher just calls is a "major article" whatever that is supposed to mean. Bon courage (talk) 08:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- MEDRS just says secondary source not that it needs to be a review article. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:45, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- It is also worth pointing out that Lacy (2024) appears to be citing Ledesma (2020) out of context when it says the Recife protocol "failed to demonstrate a survival benefit". Ledesma states that both patients who underwent the Recife protocol survived even though one of them experienced "moderate sequelae". Nezahaulcoyotl (talk) 22:19, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
