After being bitten by a dog, the incubation period of rabies virus varies from person to person. Some patients can get sick within a few days, and some patients can get sick within one to three months after being bitten. There are also a few patients with rabies virus that can be latent for more than 10 years. Note that patients must treat wounds in time after being bitten by animals and inject rabies vaccine for prevention.
