Abstract

We report the case of a 7-year-old Thai girl that was bitten by a dog. She received prompt wound care followed by eight-site intradermal post-exposure rabies schedule using purified chick embryo vaccine. Treatment followed WHO recommendations for desperate situations where no rabies immune globulin (RIG) is available. The patient died 15 days later with classical symptoms and signs of encephalitic rabies.
