A. W. aRecovery from rabiesba case report. c1972 aA 6-year-old boy developed clinical rabies 20 days after he was bitten on the left thumby by a bat and 2 days after he completed a 14-day course of duck embryo rabies vaccine. The diagnosis of rabies was supported by epidemiologic, clinical and laboratory investigations. Rabies virus was isolated from the bat not from the child. Serum, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue antiobodies against rabies rose to levels compatible with clinical rabies rather than vaccination. Rabies serum neutralization titers peaked at 1:63 000, 3 months after onset. Recovery from the clinical illness was complete 6 months after onset, with no demonstrable residua. Aggresive treatment to prevent hypoxia, intracranial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, seizures and superinfection may have contributed to the patients recovery. aRaiva aVĂ­rus aHuman aHumanos aPatologia aPatology aRage1 aWEIS, T.
