Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Rabies.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

Tragedy in Germany: six transplants have rabies

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

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)

Rabies Survivors

The article says that there were 14 rabies survivors, but the first scientific source cited says four, not fourteen, and the second one, while it says 13 (presumably plus the case described as 14), gives a citation for an article that doesn't actually support that number. [This paper] gives "seven", but as noted in the paper, two of those succumbed within 2-4 years after "recovering" from the disease. I added a Citation Needed tag.

Semi-protected edit request on 29 September 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the section Treatment > After Onset, there is a small grammatical mistake / typo.

It reads:

" The protocol has be criticised in the journal Asian Biomedicine,"

I think it should be changed to:

" The protocol has been criticised in the journal Asian Biomedicine," Stuartws777 (talk) 20:04, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thank you, - FlightTime (open channel) 20:51, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Rabies transmission into Rabies

No real point in keeping Rabies transmission as a standalone article. It is poorly sourced and redundant with Rabies § Transmission. Maybe a few sentences could be lifted and copied here but not much else. JBchrch talk 02:51, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Didn't know that article existed and agree with your points. MartinezMD (talk) 03:16, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Agree it is redundant to have a separate article regarding transmission. DferDaisy (talk) 15:16, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Alright, I'm gonna move forward with this one. Not much is salvageable from the Rabies transmission except one WP:MEDRS source [2] that I'm going to try to integrate to this article. JBchrch talk 18:41, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago rabies case

Unreliable source, but an RS may eventually confirm. [3] Sizeofint (talk) 18:28, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed: Number of survivors

Someone added the citation needed tag to the statement "14 people have survived rabies". The correct format is to add the disputed tag instead. I have quoted the person's comment verbatim:

First scientific source says four survivors, not fourteen; second one gives a number but the source it cited for the number gives a different one.

I don't think I am qualified to discuss this, so I won't.Kylesenior (talk) 04:50, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This source accounts for twelve.^[1] Then this source documents the 13th case.^[2] The source you're talking about^[3] documents the fourteenth case. You are correct the authors cite the paper that reports twelve cases. The publication dates for the papers documenting the 13th and 14th cases are only one month apart. I would guess the authors of the latter paper were aware of the 13th case, but that paper hadn't been published yet for them to cite so they cited the next best thing.
