After nearly four decades, Rabies in Spain


According to news reports, a pit bull that attacked several children last week tested positive for rabies, the first confirmed case since 1975.
The dog bit three children, aged two, six and twelve, as well as a 17-year old male in the village of Arges, near Toledo, early this month. It was immediately destroyed and was confirmed to have been rabid following tests on Monday. All were discharged after being given rabies innoculations, apart from the two-year-old who was kept in hospital after being bitten in the face.
