title: Recovery from clinical rabies of 2 dogs inoculated with a rabies virus strain from Ethiopia.
abstract: Two dogs, inoculated with a strain of rabies virus from Ethiopia, showed typical signs of rabies 8 days after inoculation. After 3 or 4 days with a deterioration in the physical condition, both animals began to recover, as shown by increased muscular movements, reaction to stimuli, awareness of surroundings, and attempts to rise. Both animals recovered completely, although 1 then died of Pseudomonas bacterial pneumonia. An increase in serum-neutralizing antibody and in CSF or brain-neutralizing antibody was noted in both animals. Such concentrations have been noted only in animals or persons that recovered from rabies.
