Rabies cannot be cured. It may only be prevented via vaccinations. If a human is bitten by a suspected rabies animal, the vaccination must be administered within 2 hours of the bite so as to produce inhibitory antibodies against the rabies virus. But once a person is infected with rabies, they will be dead within 2 weeks. Rabies has a 100% Death Rate in non-vaccinated individuals unfortunately...

According to the Indiana State Department of Health, rabies cannot be cured once symptoms appear. I found this information on their website October 23, 2008: Can rabies be cured? Once symptoms appear in humans, rabies can not be cured. There have been only a few human rabies survivors, and almost all suffered permanent neurological damage. Therefore, efforts are focused on preventing exposure or providing immunity that will prevent disease in those exposed. http://www.in.gov/isdh/20518.htm#Can%20rabies%20be%20cured?
