Incorrect administration method for booster dosage of rabies vaccination.

Sir, the rabies vaccination is the best method for prevention of rabies, a deadly neurological infection. The problem of missed appointment of rabies vaccination is common and becomes an important concern in tropical neurology. Here, the authors would like to share the experience on another important problem in clinical practice in maintenance of rabies vaccination schedule. The authors review ...

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...

Inhibition of protein synthesis by anisomycin for a short duration impairs memory of a one-trial inhibitory avoidance task in rats. Memory of escape conditioning involving eight trials is disrupted only if the duration of protein synthesis is prolonged by repeated injections. In marked contrast, olfactory memory of rats trained on two odor discriminations is not affected by anisomycin even
