According to recent reports, a woman in Delaware died of rabies, and she is being considered as the first woman to die of the fatal disease in the state since 1941. The Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH) said that the woman, who is unnamed, had visited a Delaware hospital in late July after feeling sick, and she was immediately moved to a Pennsylvania hospital when her condition started to deteriorate. According to reports by People magazine, the woman succumbed to her disease last week, but the test results did not show that she had rabies until it was too late. Reports suggest that the health officials are still quite unsure as to how the woman came in contact with the disease in the first place.
