Rabies Vaccine Breakthrough Cases Confirmed - Precision Vaccinations

Image
(Precision Vaccinations) Clinical Infectious Diseases reported in March 2023 the first rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) failure in humans in the U.S. using modern cell-culture vaccines. In January 2021, an 84-year-old male died from rabies six months after being bitten by a rabid bat despite receiving timely rabies PEP. The researchers found rabies virus antibodies present in serum and cerebrospinal fluid were non-neutralizing.  Their recommendation is clinicians should consider measuring rabies-neutralizing antibody titers after completion of PEP if there is any suspicion of immunocompromised in the person.

These researchers identified a total of 122 rabies vaccine breakthrough infections. Although people with high-risk exposures or immunosuppre...
