September 12, 04 is a day that will never forget Jeanna Giese .
The then 15 year-old student picked up a bat while at St. Patrick's Church in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The bat was bitten, but after cleaning the wound at home, his family decided not to consult a doctor. 37 days after receiving the bite, she developed neurological symptoms.
His speech was slurred, she had double vision, and his left arm shook. She was admitted to St. Agnes Hospital with a fever of 102 degrees F.
it did not meet any treatment.

Not only that, but all tests came back negative. As his condition deteriorated, Jeanna reminded her mother of the bat bite.
After learning of the bite, doctors quickly diagnosed with rabies (the CDC confirmed).
She was referred to a doctor at Willoughby's Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa children.
Since Jeanna has not received the vaccine in time, his doctors had to get creative.
There is a theory that the deaths from rabies are caused by a malfunction of temporary brain (but the brain itself is not damaged). The main doctor decided to put Jeanna into a coma to protect her brain. The medical team hoped she would survive long enough for the immune system to produce antibodies to fight the virus.
After 31 days of tension in the hospital, Jeanna was miraculously declared virus free.

She suffered brain damage from the illness and coma, so Jeanna has spent several difficult weeks undergoing rehabilitation therapy.
What happened to the girl in the face of death is now known as the Milwaukee protocol.
There are many critics of this treatment, however.
They argue that the survivors of the Milwaukee Protocol (only 5 of 36 survived) do not die because patients were already genetically predisposed to have immunity against rabies.
be in a coma is a drastic last resort in the treatment of rabies. If you are bitten by an animal, if you think he is mad or not, you should consult a doctor and get vaccinated against rabies.
