Bat rabies is responsible for a small number of human deaths each year, typically fewer than 10 cases in the United States. Globally, the number can vary, but rabies in general causes an estimated 59,000 deaths annually, with bats being a significant vector in some regions. It's important to note that rabies is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, but effective post-exposure prophylaxis can prevent the disease if administered promptly after exposure.
