The rabies virus is a notable example of a virus that typically leads to the death of its host if left untreated. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is almost universally fatal, primarily due to its effects on the central nervous system. While it can be prevented through prompt post-exposure prophylaxis, if the disease progresses, it results in severe neurological damage and death.
