An 11-year-old girl admitted to the hospital with symptoms of hydrophobia, aerophobia, and panic has been diagnosed with rabies, but her family is unsure when she was bitten by a dog.

An Luong, 28, and his girlfriend were bitten by a restaurant owner's dog upon entering a pho restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City.

Symptoms like tingling around the bite, fever, difficulty swallowing, and excessive drooling after an animal bite can signal the early stages of rabies.

Rabies patients can become agitated and injure others. Their saliva carries the rabies virus, posing a risk of infection to those in close contact.
