an experimental course of treatment of an infection of rabies in a human being

The treatment involves putting the patient into a chemically induced coma and administering antiviral drugs. It was developed and named by Rodney Willoughby, Jr., following the successful treatment of Jeanna Giese, the first known person ever to survive rabies without a vaccination.
