title: Bilateral neuro-retinitis following chick embryo cell anti-rabies vaccination--a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The Optic nerve is rarely involved after sheep brain anti-rabies vaccination in the form of retrobulbar neuritis or papillitis. Bilateral neuroretinitis after chick embryo cell antirabies vaccination has not been reported.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a 56 year old male who developed bilateral neuro-retinitis following three injections of antirabies vaccine prepared from the chick embryo.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The chick embryo cell antirabies vaccine can cause bilateral neuroretinits which has not been reported previously.
