RABIES
•Viral infection that is mainly
spread by infected animals.

Health and Control
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Headache and fever
• Muscle spasm
• Numbness of bite site
• Delirium and paralysis
• Hydrophobia and aerophobia

Health and Control
TRANSMISSION
Bite Exposure:
Injection of infectious saliva into a break a skin
Non- Bite Exposures:
Licking of scratches, open wounds or mucous membrane
Inhalation/aerosol- bats in caves
Human to human:
15 documented cases of fatal rabies following
transplantation
Corneal transplant- 8
Solid organs and a vascular conduit-

Health and Control
Risk of Developing Rabies
• Around 15- 20 %
• Influenced by:
– Virus content of saliva- viral
shedding in saliva is intermittent
– Severity of the bite
– Location of the bite

Health and Control
How to diagnose rabies
• Clinical
• History of exposure
• Compatible clinical signs and symptoms
• Clinical course with Death as outcome
• Neuroimaging techniques
• Laboratory confirmation
• Definite Dx of rabies can only be obtained by laboratory
investigations
• FAT
• PCR – CSF, serial saliva specimens
• RFFIT - CSF

Health and Control
History
• History of exposure
• Animal bite/scratch – especially dog, cat;
• Non-bite exposure – licks on breaks in the skin or mucous
membranes, exposure to rabid patient, butchering of infected animal,
transplant
• Date of bite and onset of Sx – should fit IP
• Location of bite, number of bite wounds
• Other relevant information
• Status of the biting animal at the time of bite and after 14 days
observation period
• Vaccination status of biting animal
• Other victims of the same dog
• News of “mad” dog in the area, animal “found dead”
• Treatment of bite victim – vaccination, traditional remedies
Health and Control
Clinical Signs and Symptoms
• Prodromal phase
• Symptoms
• Non-specific S/Sx (fever, malaise/fatigue, headache,
anorexia) which may be mistaken for flu, ARI, SVI
• Pain, numbness, intense pruritus at bite site
• An intense and progressive local reaction, starting at
the bite site and gradually spreading to involve the
whole limb
• Fever
• Signs
• Healed wound or scar at bite site
• Extensive excoriations at bite site due to pruritus
Health and Control
Encephalitic Rabies
• 3 Cardinal Signs:
• Fluctuating consciousness – normal periods alternating
with agitation, depression and irritability
• Phobic or Inspiratory spasms
• Phobic spasms: Hydrophobia, Aerophobia
• Inspiratory spasms: occur without stimulation, are
infrequent and less intense
• Autonomic instability: hypersalivation, hypertension,
hyperthermia, tachycardia, arrythmia, piloerection, fixed
dilated or constricted pupils, anisocoria, excessive
sweating, priapism, and spontaneous ejaculations
• Other Sx - hyperventilation, convulsions,
hallucinations, bizarre behavior
Health and Control
Paralytic Rabies
• Weakness, varied forms of paralysis
• Localized to bitten extremity
• Diffuse, symmetric paralysis
• Ascending paralysis, GBS-like
• Hyperactivity & agitation usually absent
• Aerophobia and hydrophobia in 50 %
• Meningeal signs (headache, neck stiffness) may be
prominent despite a normal sensorium
• Persistent fever from the onset of limb weakness
• Intact sensory function of all modalities except at the
bitten region
• Bladder dysfunction

Categorization and
Management of Rabies
Exposure

Health and Control
Category of Exposure Management
CATEGORY I
a) Feeding/touching an animal 1. Wash exposed skin
immediately with soap and
b) Licking of intact skin (with reliable
water.
history and thorough physical
examination) 2. No vaccine or RIG needed
c) Exposure to patient with signs and 3. Pre-exposure prophylaxis
symptoms of rabies by sharing of eating may be considered for high
or drinking utensils risk persons.
d) Casual contact (talking to, visiting and
feeding suspected rabies cases) and
routine delivery of health care to patient
with signs and symptoms of rabies

Health and Control
CATEGORY II
a) Nibbling of uncovered skin with 1. Wash wound with soap and
water.
or without bruising/hematoma
2. Start vaccine immediately:
b) Minor/superficial 3. RIG is not indicated
scratches/abrasions without
bleeding, including those induced
to bleed
c) All Category II exposures on the
head and neck area are considered
Category III and should be
managed as such.

Health and Control
CATEGORY III
a) Transdermal bites (puncture wounds, lacerations, 1. Wash wound with
avulsions) or scratches/abrasions with soap and water.
spontaneous bleeding 2. Start vaccine and
b) Licks on broken skin RIG immediately:
c) Exposure to a rabies patient through bites,
contamination of mucous membranes (eyes,
oral/nasal mucosa, genital/anal mucous
membrane) or open skin lesions with body fluids
through splattering and mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
d) Unprotected Handling of infected carcass or
ingestion of raw infected meat
e) All Category II exposures on head and neck area
Health and Control
Category III

Health and Control
A. Components of PEP
2. Anti Rabies
1. Local Wound Care 3. RIG Infiltration
Vaccination

Health and Control
1. Local Wound Care
Wounds should be immediately
and vigorously washed and
flushed with soap and water
preferably for 10 minutes

Health and Control
Local Wound Care
 Apply antiseptic
(alcohol, tincture of iodine, etc.)
 Antibiotics if indicated
 Drugs of choice: Amoxicillin/clavulanic
 OR Cloxacillin OR Cefuroxime axeti
 Anti-tetanus immunization
should be given since animal
bites are considered tetanus
prone wounds

Health and Control
Local Wound Care: Don’ts
 If possible, suturing of wounds should be avoided (as
it may inoculate virus deeper into the wound)
Wounds may be coaptated using sterile adhesives strips
 However, if suturing is necessary, anti-rabies

immunoglobulin should be infiltrated around and into
the wound before suturing
If suturing is unavoidable, it should be delayed for at least 2 hrs after
administration of RIG to allow diffusion of the RIG to occur through the
tissues

Health and Control
2. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION
Giving of Rabies Immune Globulin (RIG)
a. Equine Rabies Immune Globulin (ERIG)
b. Human Rabies Immune Globulin (HRIG)

Health and Control
RIG Infiltration

Health and Control
Guidelines in Giving RIG (1)
• Rabies Immune Globulin (RIG) provides immediate but

short-lived protection against rabies.
• Given only to all Category III exposures as a single dose, not
affected by status of biting animal before and during PEP
• RIG should not be given alone but always in combination
with anti rabies vaccine

Health and Control
Rationale in using immune
globulin
Area at risk of Rabies calling

for passive Immunization (RIG)

Health and Control
• In the event that RIG and vaccine cannot be given on the same
day, the vaccine should be given before RIG because it inhibits
the level of neutralizing antibodies induced by immunization;
• RIG may still be given anytime before day7 dose of the vaccine.
Beyond Day 7, regardless of whether day 3 and day 7 doses were
received, rabies immunoglobulins is not indicated because an
active antibody response to the rabies CCV/EEV/TCV has
already started and interference between active and passive
immunization may occur

Health and Control
• RIG requirement is computed based on the patients

body weight :
• HRIG : 20 IU/kg BW
• ERIG/Fab2 : 40 IU/kg BW
• RIG should not exceed the computed dose as it may

reduce the efficacy of the vaccine.
• Should be given only once during the same course of
PEP.

Health and Control
SKIN TEST
• A skin test is performed prior to ERIG administration
• Hypersensitivity to ERIG may not be predicted by skin test.
Always be ready with epinephrine and anti-histamine for
treatment of hypersensitivity
• OBSERVE the patient for at least 1 hour after giving
RIG

Health and Control
3. IMMUNIZATION
• Giving of Anti- Rabies Vaccination
– Vaccine is administered to induce antibody and T-
cell production in order to neutralize the rabies virus
in the body. It induces an active immune response
in 7-10 days after vaccination, which may persist for
years provided that primary immunization is
completed.

Health and Control
ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION
Giving of Anti Rabies Vaccine
a. Intradermal (ID)vaccination
- recommended route for all eligible patients except:
a. Immunocompromised individuals (cancer patients, HIV,
Patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs,etc)
b. Patients with chronic liver disease
- Cost effective
b. Intramuscular (IM)vaccination
Recommended for all except patients with heamatologic conditions

Health and Control
Anti Rabies Vaccination

Health and Control
Guidelines in Giving Anti- Rabies Vaccine (1)
• Anti Rabies Vaccine (ARV) are given to all Category II

and III exposures
• Vaccines are needed to provide long term protection

against rabies to individuals exposed to rabies
• Develops slowly and protection is only conferred after

adequate levels of antibodies have been produced

Health and Control
• Injection should be given in the deltoid area of each arm in adults or
at the anterolateral aspect of the thigh in infants
• Vaccine should never be injected in the gluteal area as absorption is

unpredictable
• ID injection should produce a minimum of 3mm wheal
• In the event that a dose vaccine is inadvertently given SC, or IM, the
dose should be repeated

Health and Control
2 types of anti-rabies vaccines for both intradermal and
intramuscular use are available in the Philippines
• PVRV (0.5 ml/vial)
• PCECV (1.0 ml)
The potency of vaccine for IM use should be at least 2.5

IU/dose and for ID use should be at least 0.5 IU/dose

Health and Control
RECOMMENDED REGIMEN
1. Intradermal Regimen
2. Intramuscular Regimen
• Patients who are immuno-compromised or who are taking

immuno suppressive drugs as they may not respond to the reduced
antigen in the ID regimen
• Patients taking chloroquine, steroids

Health and Control
WHO RECOMMENDED REGIMEN
1. Intradermal Regimen
Updated 2 site ID Regimen (2-2-2-0-2)
2. Intramuscular Regimen
Standard 5 dose IM Regimen (Essen)

Health and Control

Health and Control
Management of Previously Vaccinated
Animal Bite Patients

Health and Control
Management of Previously Vaccinated Patients(1)
The following patients are considered to have completed the

primary immunization:
1. Those who have received day 0, 7 and 21/28 of the PReP or

those who have received at least day 0, 3 and 7 of the PEP; and
2. Received the modern Tissue/Cell Culture vaccines (PVRV and PCEC)
• Persons with incomplete PrEP/PEP should be managed as if no

previous injections have been received

Health and Control
Management of Previously Vaccinated Patients
1. Local wound care must always be carried out
2. All exposure do not require RIG including category III

exposure
3. ONLY Category II and III exposures must be provided

with PEP booster doses

Health and Control

Management of Rabies Exposures
Secondary to Bites by Vaccinated Animals
(Joint DOH- DA AO s. 2011)

Health and Control
Management of Rabies Exposures Secondary to
Bites by Vaccinated Animals (1)
I. PEP is not recommended for all Category I exposures.
II. PEP can be delayed for Category II Exposures provided that

ALL of the following conditions are satisfied:
• Dog/cat is healthy and available for observation for 14 days
• Dog/cat is vaccinated against rabies for the past 2 years:
– Dog/cat must be at least 1 yr and 6 months old and has updated vaccination certificate
from a duly licensed veterinarian for the last 2 years
– The last vaccination must be within the past 12 months, the immunization status of the
dog/cat will not be considered updated if the animal is not vaccinated on the due date of
the next vaccination
* If biting dog/cat becomes sick or dies within the observation period, PEP
should be started immediately

Health and Control
Management of Rabies Exposures Secondary to Bites by
Vaccinated Animals (2)
PEP cannot be delayed for ANY of the following conditions :

1. The rabies exposure is category III;
2. The dog/cat is proven rabid/sick/ dead/not available for observation before or
during the consultation;
3. The dog/cat is involved in at least 3 biting incidents within 24 hours or
4. Dog/cat manifests behavior changes suggestive of rabies before, during or after
the biting incident:

Health and Control
Special Conditions
1. Pregnancy and infancy:
– Pregnancy and infancy are not contraindications to
treatment with modern Tissue Culture Vaccines (TCVs);
Nerve Tissue Vaccine is not recommended during pregnancy
2. Drugs and Chronic Liver Disease

– Patients with chronic liver disease and those taking
chloroquine, and systemic steroids should be given standard
IM regimen as the response to ID regimen is not optimum for
these conditions.

Health and Control
Special Conditions
3. Babies of Rabid Mothers
– Babies who are born of rabid mothers should be given rabies
vaccination as well as RIG as early as possible at birth.
4. Patients with Hematologic Conditions:

– Patients with hematologic conditions where IM injection is
contraindicated should receive rabies vaccine by ID.

Health and Control
Special Conditions
5. Immunocompromised individuals:
– Such as those with HIV infection, cancer/transplant patients on
immunosuppressive therapy etc) should be given vaccine using standard
IM regimen and Rabies Immune Globulin (RIG) for both Category II
and III exposures.
6. Delay in Consult:
– Exposed persons who present for evaluation or treatment weeks or
months after the bite
 Treat as if the bite was recent
 If the biting animal has remained healthy and alive until 14 days
after the bite, PEP is not needed

Health and Control
Special Conditions
7. Bites by other animals:

– rodents, guinea pigs, rabbits snakes and other cold blooded animals
do not require rabies PEP.
– Bites by domestic animals other than dogs and cats (cattle, pigs,
horses, etc.), monkeys and other wild animals require rabies PEP.
8. Shifting from one vaccine brand:

– Shifting from one vaccine brand to another is not recommended but
may be warranted for the following situations provided that it is one
of the WHO recommended cell culture vaccines:
 hypersensitivity reaction
 unavailability of initial vaccine used

Health and Control
Special Conditions
9. Shifting from one regimen

– Shifting from one regimen to another (IM to ID, ID to IM) is not
recommended. As much as possible the initial regimen should be
completed.

Health and Control
PEP under Special Conditions
Missed doses: delay in day 3 dose
 If delay is 1-2 days from day 3 schedule – give day 3 dose

upon visit and follow the original schedule of day 7 and
28/30.
 If delay is 3-4 days from day 3 schedule- give day 3 dose

upon visit, adjust succeeding doses (day 7 and 28/30)
according to the prescribed interval.
 If delay is > 4 days from day 3 schedule – restart a new

course
Health and Control
 If delay is <7 days from day 7 schedule - give day 7

dose upon visit, give day 28/30 dose as originally
scheduled
 If delay is >7 - 14 days from day 7 schedule – repeat day 3

dose and revise according to the prescribed interval
 If delay is > 14 days from day 7 schedule - restart a new

course

Health and Control
 give day 28/30 upon visit; this may

be considered as a booster.
 If RIG has already been administered, it should

not be given again

Health and Control
Bites by rodents and rabbits and do not require
rabies PET unless the animal is proven rabid. Anti-
tetanus prophylaxis should be given
 Bites by domestic animals other than dogs and cats (cattle,

pigs etc) require rabies PET
 Patients bitten by monkeys and other wild animals

(especially bats) should be managed similarly as patients
bitten by dogs and cats

Health and Control
Prevention of rabies
Be a responsible Pet Owner
- Have your pet dog immunized against
rabies at 3 months old and every year
thereafter
- Never allow your pet dog to roam the
streets
- Take care of your pet
Health and Control
Pre- Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

Health and Control
Pre-exposure prophylaxis
• Benefits
• The need for passive immunization product (RIG) is eliminated
• PEP vaccine regimen is reduced from five to two doses
• Protection against rabies is possible if PEP is delayed
• Protection against inadvertent exposure to rabies is possible
• The cost of PEP is reduced

Health and Control
Pre- Exposure Prophylaxis (1)
Pre Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
• refers to rabies vaccination administered before an

exposure to potentially rabid animals. This is usually
given to those who are at high risk of getting rabies.

Health and Control
Recommended for persons at high risk for rabies exposure:
- Veterinarians and veterinary students
- Animal handlers/pet owners
- Laboratory staff handling rabies virus
- Health care workers caring for rabies patients
- Individuals directly involved in rabies control
- Young children (5-14 years) because of the increased
risk and severity of animal bites in this age group

Health and Control
Day 0 Day 7 Day 21/28
• Consist of three doses of 0.1 ml of PCEC or PVRV given

intradermally (ID) or 1 vial of 1 ml of PCEC or 0.5 ml of PVRV
given intramuscularly (IM) on the following days:
Health and Control
Routine Booster Schedule for Individuals given Pre-
Exposure Prophylaxis
Recommended Booster Schedule
Type of Risk Population at Risk
(Without definite exposure)
High Risk 1. Health workers handling -1 Booster dose 1 year after primary
( exposures may not rabies cases immunization:
be known) 2. Workers in rabies a .One (1 site) 0.1 ml ID dose of
laboratories, PVRV or PCEC on DO; OR
3. Veterinarians, b. One (1site) Vial of 0.5 ml PVRV
4. Veterinary students, or 1.0 ml PCEC given intramuscularly
5. Animal handlers (dog on D0
trainers, workers in pet
shops, zoos, etc.) -Thereafter, 1 booster, if Ab titers fall below
0.5 IU/ml
OR
- In the absence of serologic testing,

1 booster dose every 5 years
Low Risk
No routine booster after primary
( exposures are General Population
immunization
known)

Health and Control
REMEMBER !!!!!!
Pre- Exposure Prophylaxis
– Does not eliminate the need for Post- Exposure Prophylaxis

(PEP) after a rabies exposure.
– Simplifies the PEP requirement for previously vaccinated

persons by eliminating the need for RIG and decreasing the
number of doses of vaccine needed !!!
