A RARE disease carried by bats has reportedly claimed the life of an eight-year-old boy in Brisbane.
The boy was bitten or scratched by a bat in north Queensland in December and fell ill around three weeks ago, suffering from the Australian bat Lyssavirus.
The ABC reports on its website that the boy died late Friday afternoon at Brisbane's Mater Hospital.
His family and some friends have been treated with post-exposure drugs as a precaution, the public broadcaster reports.
