Zusammenfassung

Eine an Tollwut erkrankte Mutter wurde ante finem von einem Frühgeborenen durch Spontangeburt entbunden. Obwohl das Frühgeborene nicht geimpft wurde, erkrankte es nicht an Lyssa. Die Möglichkeit einer diaplazentaren Übertragung der Rabiesviren auf den menschlichen Fetus wird anhand der Literatur und unseres Falles als sehr unwahrscheinlich angesehen.

Summary

A case of rabies in a pregnant woman who spontaneously delivered a premature baby before dying is presented. Although not vaccinated the baby did not develop rabies. The possibility of diaplacental transmission of rabies in humans is judged as highly improbably on the basis of findings in other publications and in the case presented here.
