There is no cure for rabies because the rabies virus is neurophilic, which prevents the body’s immune system from recognizing the virus and producing an immune response against it.
The rabies virus is neurophilic and proliferates indefinitely in nerve cells but does not enter the bloodstream. The body’s immune system is unable to recognize the virus and produce a relevant immune response, so human beings are unable to develop antiviral drugs against the rabies virus.
After a rabies attack, the virus will spread in the central nervous system and enter the tissues of the body. At this time, the patient will have the symptoms of rabies, such as fear of water, fear of wind, etc. However, at this time, the patient’s body is no longer able to produce the relevant antibodies, so there is no way to treat rabies.
The mortality rate after rabies attack is almost 100%, so if the patient has been scratched or bitten by an animal suspected of carrying rabies virus, he should go to the hospital in time to receive rabies vaccination.
