[Effectiveness of specific treatment of rabies. II. Analysis of cases of human death from rabies following a complete course of treatment with specific agents].
Of 79318 persons treated of rabies in the Uzbek SSR in 1968--1974 there were recorded 16 cases of death of clinically manifest rabies. The course of treatment included injection of rabies gamma-globulin in a dose of 0.5 ml per 1 kg of body weight and the maximal dose of rabies vaccine. The incubation period lasted from 44 to 833 days (229.6 on the average). The authors considered that irrational use of high doses of rabies preparations was the cause of unsuccessful treatment of rabies.
