ABSTRACT
A 46-year-old Caucasian man was admitted with a history of dog-bite in a foreign country six months previously. He presented with multisystem complaints, died suddenly soon after admission and the only significant finding at post-mortem was a ruptured oesophagus. Immunological tests confirmed rabies.
