Abstract

Introduction: Human rabies (HR) is a lethal zoonotic disease caused by lyssaviruses with increase in the number of cases post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

Methodology: We report a case of human rabies in a patient from a rural area of Ceará, northeastern Brazil in 2023, who was bitten by a white-tufted-ear marmoset (Callithrix jacchus jacchus). The patient was co-infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and was diagnosed by minimally invasive autopsy (MIA).

Results: MIA offers many advantages related to biosafety, and speed of sample acquisition; and markedly reduces disfigurement of the body compared with complete autopsy. It is a great alternative in COVID-19 patients.

Conclusions: New methods such as MIA are a promising tool for diagnosis, and have the potential to improve family cooperation and support rabies surveillance.

在巴西东北部通过微创尸检对 SARS-CoV-2 共感染患者进行死后人类狂犬病诊断。

简介：人类狂犬病（HR）是一种由舔病毒引起的致命性人畜共患病：人类狂犬病（HR）是一种由深裂病毒引起的致命性人畜共患病，在2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行后病例数量有所增加：我们报告了 2023 年巴西东北部塞阿拉农村地区的一例人类狂犬病病例，该患者被一只白尾耳狨（Callithrix jacchus jacchus）咬伤。该患者同时感染了严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒-2（SARS-CoV-2），并通过微创尸检（MIA）确诊：结果：微创尸检在生物安全和样本采集速度方面具有很多优势，与完全尸检相比，微创尸检明显减少了对身体的毁损。对于 COVID-19 患者来说，这是一种很好的替代方法：结论：MIA 等新方法是一种很有前途的诊断工具，有可能改善家庭合作并支持狂犬病监测。
