Epidemiology, clinical management, and prevention
Despite the favorable epidemiological situation, the possibility of rabies should be considered early on for anyone in Europe who has had an unclear animal exposure-especially to bats-or a potential rabies exposure abroad. When questions remain about the indication or modalities of PEP, expert advice should be obtained from an infectious disease unit or a rabies information center.
