Abstract
Rabies is a dangerous viral disease characterized by severe damage to the brain and spinal cord. A clinical case of rabies in a 14-year-old teenager with a fatal outcome is presented. After the child's contact with a hedgehog was registered, post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies was not administered to the child. The complexity of timely diagnosis of rabies and the need for emergency prophylaxis of rabies after contact with wild animals are demonstrated.
