Cape man has rabies; first human case in state in 75 years

I think the Medscape article which was quoted in Wikipedia is untrue. I don't think that 6 people have survived using the protocol mentioned.

From MMWR February 3, 2012 / 61(04);61-65. Recovery of a Patient from Clinical Rabies — California, 2011

Rabies is a neurotropic viral illness, most commonly transmitted to humans from the bite of an infected animal. Although rabies is preventable with PEP, no proven cure exists after the onset of symptoms . Even with advanced supportive care, the case-fatality rate approaches 100%. Consequently, management approaches generally focus on palliation . However, in 2004, an adolescent female treated with a novel protocol became the first person to survive documented clinical rabies without previous vaccination.In 2009, another unvaccinated adolescent female with a history of bat exposure, symptoms of encephalitis, and positive rabies virus serology recovered from a presumed abortive rabies infection after receiving only basic supportive care. The patient described in this report is the third unvaccinated person to recover from clinical rabies in the United States.
