abstract="Dr. W. D. Schrack Jr., Pennsylvania Department of Health has supplied information concerning a case of rabies in an adult woman. The patlent was attacked by a fox in her yard at home and bitten on the left index finger. The fox was strangled by the patient and its head sent to the State laboratory which reported that the animal was rabid. The first dose of anti-rables vaccine was given 2 days following the bite, and after the seventh dose there was a severe urticaria, nausea, and profound weakness. Ten days after the biting took place the patient complained of headache, other symptoms suggested posslbllity of a concomitant influellza  infection which was then prevalent in the area. Anti-rabies vaccine was continued and about 3 weeks after being bitten the patient became very &quot;nervous&quot; and hysterical, followed by maniacal symptoms. The impression was that hysteria and reaction to the vaccine accounted for the patients symptoms. However, the patient died on the following day and specimens of braln tissue obtalned at autopsy showed Negri bodies.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
