Three-year experience with 4-site intradermal booster vaccination with rabies vaccine for postexposure prophylaxis.
For booster vaccination of previously immunized persons with potential exposure to rabies, the World Health Organization recommends 2 doses of cell-culture vaccine administered intramuscularly or intradermally on days 0 and 3. We believe that four 0.1-mL intradermal booster doses given on a single day could be used at no risk to the recipient. We studied use of a single booster vaccination on d...
متن کاملFailure of multiple-site intradermal postexposure rabies vaccination in patients with human immunodeficiency virus with low CD4+ T lymphocyte counts.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with low CD4(+) T lymphocyte counts had a poor neutralizing antibody response to pre- and postexposure rabies vaccination. This study of HIV-infected patients with CD4(+) T lymphocyte counts < 200/microL indicated that patients had a poor response after 4-site intradermal vaccinations (4-4-4-0-2-2, doubling the intradermal doses of cell-cultu...
متن کاملCellular immune response following pre-exposure and postexposure rabies vaccination by intradermal and intramuscular routes
PURPOSE Immunization against rabies in humans induces protective neutralizing antibodies; however, the induction of type 1 or type 2 cytokine mediated cellular immune responses following rabies vaccination is not understood. Hence, the present study investigated cellular cytokine responses in vaccinated individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study groups included healthy rabies antigen naive ...

Three failures of postexposure rabies treatment using imported purified duck embryo cell and Vero cell rabies vaccines are reported from Thailand. Reference is made to eight additional previously reported Thai patients, six of whom had received human diploid cell vaccine. An analysis of these cases reveals that there were serious flaws in management in all of these patients. It is stressed that...
