    The right answer is Diagnosis Code A82.9 in the 2018 ICD-10-CM.

    Rabies remains a widespread disease worldwide, responsible for tens of thousands of deaths each year. It is most often transmitted by dogs. In Europe, bats, which host viruses different from those of dogs or foxes, are particularly monitored. The vaccine exists to prevent rabies, but this disease is still deadly once the first signs are declared.
