Abstract

Seven patients were presented with severe injuries seeking medical help 3-10 days after being bitten by rabid animals. Just one of those subjects underwent timely and correct surgical management. Three patients were with complete, and four with incomplete antirabic prophylaxis. Two patients did not receive human rabies immunoglobulin, and another two did not receive HDC-RV vaccine. At least 3 patients were expected to develop rabies, but it did not happen. The course of these cases could be explained by the existence of less pathogenic strains of virus in Banja Luka region.
