Routine pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis: a reassessment.

Pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis: a systematic review

OBJECTIVE To review the safety and immunogenicity of pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis (including accelerated schedules, co-administration with other vaccines and booster doses), its cost-effectiveness and recommendations for use, particularly in high-risk settings. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International, Cochrane Library and Web of Science database...

Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Truvada to be used as PrEP by HIV negative people who are at high risk of sexually acquired HIV infection. The US Centre for Disease Control has since developed guidelines and recommended PrEP be used by people at high risk of HIV acquisition via sexual transmission or injection drug use (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/prevention/research/prep/).

What is appropriate post-exposure rabies prophylaxis?

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 1060 VOLUME 42__OCTOBER 17, 2005 electrophoresis and G6PD assay was also normal. Methemoglobin assayed by spectroscopic method was 38% (normal <1%.). Erythrocyte NADH-dependent methemoglobin reductase level was low with 30% of normal. HbM could not be estimated due to financial constraint. She was managed with oxygen inhalation, bronchodilator nebulisation, and oral antibiotic...

Reduced Regiment for Human Pre-exposure Immunization Against Rabies

The main aim of this study was to find a suitable rabies vaccination protocol which would allow usage of lower volumes of vaccine, fewer clinical visits and above all, enough serological effectiveness for high-risk individuals requiring pre-exposure immunization. Human diploid cell rabies vaccine was administered intradermally and intramuscularly in 60 previously unvaccinated volunteers, aged 1...
