  • that child did not deserve to suffer like he did. I would be very happy if George W Bush was in that condition.

  • who gives a fuck if hes black, he has rabies!

  • This is how much our politicians care about the world. They can always find money to bomb and kill others. If they spent 1/10th the amount on saving people from this most terrible disease, chances are rabies might well have been erradicated by now.

  • Comment removed

  • It's quite a mysterious virus, of all things hydrophobia, why would it make its hosts fear water? and especially when at the later stages it exhausts the hosts water supplies through, as SoneaAmnell has mentioned increase in saliva and tears... It's really facinating.

  • @KMcombine

    I think the fear of water comes from the pain of swallowing that the disease causes. and because of the paranoia brought on by the disease the idea of water becomes malevolent and terrifying

  • Dr. Alon

    I know that most countries don't really like Americans and for the most part I understand why. I see so many people here in the US that could do more to help others. I'm glad that you have the hospital there to take care of people. I wish there was a way to organize some of the people here to help get supplies to the places that don't have hospitals like yours. I wish that we could do it without spreading religious beliefs and political philosophies. Take Care, keep up the good work

  • in the final stages the disease affects the brain/cns and usually when he/she starts showing these symtoms hydrophobia, hallucinating etc they die within a few days.

  • why do they get scared of water and how?

  • @ENJO1panda The production of large quantities of saliva and tears coupled with an inability to speak or swallow are typical during the later stages of the disease; this can result in hydrophobia, in which the patient has difficulty swallowing because the throat and jaw become slowly paralyzed, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and cannot quench his or her thirst.

  • @SoneaAmnell I've never been satisfied with that explanation. It may explain why drinking would be difficult, but why does it manifest as intense fear just at the sight of water? Especially since they become so dehydrated they must be desperately thirsty.

  • @vulturedoors Cause the pain comes when the patient sees water

  • @imkickurass That's not an explanation for WHY the disease would create fear of water.

  • @vulturedoors exactly- this is why i say rabies is the disease from hell itself

  • HOW is he scared and WHY he doesnt want the water? im confused :/

  • I feel sorry for this child b/c it is extremely sad that he had to go through this severe suffering. On the other hand if Gary Rossington and the rest of lynyrd skynyrd so this video it would definitely make them extremely happy.

  • why don't they put these poor victims under sedation so they are unaware of their suffering? This is completely ethical and morally allowable without violating the Hippocratic oath to do no harm. Why allow them to allow alert enough to feel the pain and to know of their suffering especially a small child?

  • Is he okay now?

  • @AngelicAcid453 Are you kidding? It's rabies. This child is dead!

    Man must die when the first symptoms appear. There is no help for him.

  • @1994saphira You clearly live in some third world country where all your doctors are witch doctors.

  • I don't get the link between rabies and hydrophobia, from what I've gathered after getting rabies you become afraid of water?

  • Rabies affects the part of the brain that controls swallowing and the throat muscles. When the victim is given certain kinds of stimuli, such as the sight/sound/taste of water or even a slight breeze, it can cause these muscles to spasm, which can be excruciatingly painful. Swallowing is so painful that the rabies victim quickly learns to avoid even the sight of water, hence the horrific symptom of hydrophobia. Sadly, once rabies hits this stage, all you can do is make the victim comfortable.

  • That poor child

  • uh oh hes got rabbies. he died,its already in the central nervous system!

  • there is almost no chance of survival after symptoms are present. And of the cases of people that did, they had severe brain damage.

  • is there any chances of survival from rabies.. and did the boy survived? try to watch the vid... named: "child suffer rabbies" - > exactly... it is from the Philippines

  • The chances of survival are depressingly low. As much as I hate to say it, it's almost certain that this child died.

  • a documented 2 people (I believe, maybe 3) have survived rabies without getting a rabies vaccination within like, a day or a week of getting bitten. Chances of that kid surviving that? Well, with all the rabies victims throughout the course of human history... I'd say less than 1 in 1,000,000,000

  • i think there was only "six" survivors of rabies

  • 9 in total: 6 who had been vaccinated prior to their contraction and 3 treated with the experimental "Milwaukee Protocol". The last 3 were only in the last 3 years or so so the 6 survivor figure applied for a long time.

  • oh yeah....

  • Dr Alon what happend to the child?

  • Hi techan72. Well, if the little boy had symptomatic rabies, he died, obviously.

  • this is so sad, my best friend died of rabies 6 yrs ago, she was only 16.

  • That is a hideous torture for the victim who is doomed to die a horrific death. Bring the victim into a coma and allow him or her to die in peace. The virus destroys the brain and hydrophobia is one of the disgusting symptoms. They suffer from a raving thirst, but when they try to drink they get very painful muscle spams in the throat.

  • eske es por la hidrofobia ke presenta el ´paciente.. la hidrofobia, son espasmos faringeos, y esto no permite ke tome agua, ni alimentos

  • No hes already black retard when your sick your skin color gets lighter

  • Dang those rabies turned his skin all black

  • Cat's are fucking dumb to ahole, sad video

  • dogs are the most stupid animals I can't belive some people actually keep them,

    poor boy

  • true i hate dogs

  • wait a minute what do dogs have to do with this? its not the dogs fault he (by he i mean the dog) got infected every other animal can get rabies.

  • Comment removed

  • though other diseases kill so many more people, rabies has some of the worst effect as you slowly die. hydrophobia some cruel joke this germ plays on people

  • parasite not a germ, but yer i no wat u meen

  • all germs are parasites, because they have a parasitic relationship to their host

  • Parasite?... No.

  • They don't understand it. It's too bad they couldn't sedate him. He doesn;t deserve to go through that and his mom or whoever that is doesn't deserve to see him suffering like that.

  • i understand wat u mean, but rabies is progressive and i wouldnt sedate him if i were the mother, i would want to spend every waking moment the child still has any comprehension of who and what their mother is. its comparable to Flowers for Algernon. i would try my best to keep the kid as comfortable as possible before he probably has a stroke, what else could u do at this stage?

  • Your perfectly right, that's all they can do.

    Most rabis victims don't die of stroke though, they normally die from some form of respiratory failure, which makes it just that much worse.

  • god bless..its very bad nurological disease.. and there is no treatment for this disease's virus..

  • Thank god there is no rabies in Australia. What an awful disease, that poor mother and child, god bless them. :(

  • ...poor people :( knowin that ur child is gonna die....damn thats sad! god bless

  • Sad, I know rabies is a nerological disease and hydrophobia is the later stages. man, I would put the kid asleep because its not cool to suffer like that

  • Such a horrible thing to see, my God. May God give this kid's soul rest and peace. I am sure that this child in in peace right now, and away from al this misery and suffering. God bless this child soul. May God give peace to this mother who lost her son.

  • Hydrophobia is just an advanced stage of rabbies.

  • no duh

  • its just one of the symptoms of a debilitating almsotalways fatal disease if not caught early before symptoms appear..

  • was it too late for him?

  • once you start showing symptoms it's almost always too late with rabies.

  • actually not till you show nuerological disorder you will develop flu like symptome 2 to 12 weeks before it reaches your nervous system

  • hydrophobia is a neurological disorder...

  • Except if they had the money they could used the Milwaukee Protocol saved a young American girl from rabies a few years ago. Even so, I've heard they haven't had any furtherr successes with any other rabies patients.

  • poor kid.. poor mother!

  • Hasta la fecha sinceramente no sabía que existía la hidrofobia debido a que el ser humano (y cualquier ser vivo) debe hidratarse para estar sano.

    Entonces este niño cómo puede hidratarse sin asustarse?

    Por último destaco que el doctor es argentino y el hospital fue creado con ayuda sanitaria proveniente de Israel.

  • The saddest part is looking in his mothers eyes, knowing there is nothing she can do for him :(

  • yes, she knows he is doomed. she cannot even look at him...  how utterly horrible. :`-(

  • And scared of water is called "Aquaphobia" don't mix em two.

  • No.

  • rabies.

  • How is this a rare case?

  • omg sad hydrophobic.

    fear of water.

    When I read old yeller I was like wait are they serious fear of water thats when I was like in 5th grade

  • its not fear of water, its rabies...

  • Yeah hydrophobia is another name for rabies, because when your infected with rabies, you're scared of water. Then you dehydrate which causes the foaming at the mouth.

  • No, it doesn't make you scared of water, don't bullshit.Its inability to swallow water hence its called hydrophobia.Please do more study before you speak.

  • Painful muscle spasms cause the fear of water.

  • Our Living Language : Hydrophobia is an older term for the disease rabies, and it means "fear of water." Because of this name, many people think that rabies makes one afraid of water. In fact, this is not the case (although rabies does cause mental confusion of other kinds). The name hydrophobia comes from the fact that animals and people with rabies get spasms in their throat muscles that are so painful that they cannot eat or drink, and so will refuse water in spite of being very thirsty.

  • Its amazing that manged to surmise hydrophobia in one sentence while took paragraph get to the same thing.

  • the salavary glands are overractive due to the disease itself, and its effect on the brain. not because of dehydtration...the body wouldn't secrete MORE liquid when its dehydrated....quite the opposite.

  • sad

  • oh no..

  • Poor little kid...

  • why don't you do youtube (and other civilized peoples) a favor, and go pet a bat? post-haste.

  • :((((

  • RIP

  • Hello, Lapazge-

    Curious if this boy is still alive, it has been a month since you last left a comment indicating that he was alive. It would be wonderful if someone developed a treatment protocal to treat lyssavirus.

    Your country really needs to engage in a strict dog vaccination protocol, canine rabies is now unknown in the USA thanks to stringent vaccination.

  • At least they didn't tie the boy to the bed as they did in that video from the Philippines who had rabies. I suppose that African boy wasn't yet in the furious stage of the disease so that his mother could hold him like that. They should have given him a leathal injection than let have to go through that agony for days. That would have been the most humane thing that could've done for him.

  • We Are Doctors we treat people

    Dr Alon

  • But you cannot treat rabies it's an inevitable death and you that being doctor. So why allow a child to die in agony in that way?. If you were a vet you'd have no reservation in putting a down rabid animal. It's only those religious idiots who stop you from doing the most humane thing in the circumstances.

  • Because he's not an animal, he's a Human and since there is a 99% chance of death and a 1% of survival we take that 1%.

  • That 1% is goood for the child then out of 99%. Come on stop being so pompous and examin the reality. Your GP I thought they were supposed to relieve sufffering not prolong it.

  • You doctors are all the same you think just because your qualified you can decide who dies and who doesn't? Well, if that was my child who was suffering from that horrific disease and you told me that bull shit I'd punch your lights out, and then I'd give then a lethal injection to put them out of their misery. You should be struck off the list because you're sadist.

  • you wouldn't be saying that if your child was really in a death-path.

  • Yes I would be saying that if, heaven above, if my child was dying of this horrible disease. Any compassionate person would help their child who was dying of this incurable illness, die in a peaceful way. I would be prepared to go to prison for it.

  • There has been only *1* survivor of a hot rabies infection that didn't have extensive traumatic brain and CNS damage after the fact. Even she took months to recouperate and is still facing challenges. Not to say that treatment shouldn't be attempted, but you have to realize the odds are so incredibly long that they are essentially a zero chance of survival.

    The *best* way to fight this disease is through education and vaccination.

  • And that is scandalous, that you are willing to let a child go through this horrendous suffering just for that one percent chance. This child should at least be put into a coma so that he dies in peace, but it seems that you do not even that. And even if a person survives rabies the brain will be severely and permanenty damaged.

  • medically induced comas are what saved a few people who got rabies symptoms (too late to do anything usually once you get symptoms). Your brain will be unwired, and you'll have to re-learn how to move and speak. But it has worked, and the girl from wisconsin that had it work for her is doing pretty well considering. She has a little more work to do, and she should seem normal.

  • Oh so that's the end of it then. The lord God has spoken so must all pray be quite. Well stuff you then mate! I'd rather die than have you treat me.

  • No you you let rabies patients die in agony for a pathetic principle get it right.

  • can't live in the real world? Rabies can make a child or adult real scary to, try to scratch you or bite, i bet you wouldn't care? people can make mistakes to but some time's its not only the other person

  • @turner60 I agree, what's most humane needs to be considered in rabies patients where the disease is prevalent and after symptoms show. It would be pure torture to die this way, and you are guaranteed to die. I would pray that if this happened to someone I loved, they would be allowed to pass peacefully without agony

  • @turner60

    the kid's not african. theyre speaking spanish. also, in human's i dont think aggression is really a symptom. I think its mostly just anxiety and paranoia

  • Dear Lapazge From what I've learned and seen here , Once Rabies reaches the brain and the person starts showing symptoms it's a death sentence. That boys condition will only worsen over the next 2 to 10 days before he slipps into a coma and dies. I admire your treatment endevors but I don't think anything would help at that point.

  • A lethal sedative would have been the best help for that poor kid. Perhaps that child was a guinea pig seeing that he was from the third world, so that they could test their useless drugs on him. Well you would be able to get away with it on a Western patient with rabies?

  • why? most rabies victims takes months to have full blown rabies

  • Dear Parks2000

    At this stage of rabbies the mortality with no care is high and immediate

    We used a new treatment protoco, soon to be published

    Thanks for your comment

    Dr Alon

  • Sounds like your experimenting on them using this new treatment protocol. My you its funny you spelt the word protocol and rabies wrongly. I thought you medical people were supposed to have medical degrees Dr Alon? Or haven't you found the spell checker yet?

  • Rabies enters the body at the site of the bite and follows nerve paths to the brain. It all depends on where you were bitten. If you got bitten on your big toe it could take up to a year to travel to your brain and start showing the first symptoms. Scarey Stuff ha ?

  • misdiagnosis maybe.. am surprised he is alive 30 days after the bite

  • Dear Dolce vita

    We have A full PCR and all The lab test needed. This case has bean revisited by few centers defently true diagnosis

    Thanks for your comment

    Dr Alon
