Hydrophobia is the old term for rabies. We prevent rabies before exposure with immunizations in high risk groups and after exposure with rabies immune globulin (basically antibodies against rabies) as well as with immunization.
There is no treatment once symptoms of the disease start and it is considered universally fatal. There has been only one recorded case of a girl surviving after symptoms onset. She was treated at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore with several weeks of in induced coma, neuroprotectant drugs and antivirals.
