Abstract

A review of the literature shows 24 cases of pregnant human exposure to rabies virus through confirmed rabid animal bites. Historically, these patients received passive immunization with equine rabies immunoglobulin and/or purified vero cell vaccine or duck embryo vaccine. With the recent development of human-derived rabies vaccines, we report an additional case of human gestational rabies exposure, which was treated with human rabies immune globulin and human diploid cell vaccine.
