SUMMARYThe standard six-dose intramuscular (i.m.) rabies post-exposure vaccine regimen using a new purified chick embryo cell (PCEC) vaccine was compared with two economical multisite intradermal (i.d.) PCEC regimens, a multisite i.m. PCEC schedule and a subcutaneous regimen using a suckling mouse brain (SMB) rabies vaccine manufactured in Thailand. The neutralizing antibody results for the four-site and eight-site i.d. and the standard i.m. PCEC regimens were similar over 3 months. A three-site i.m. PCEC regimen had no advantage. The SMB vaccine gave the lowest antibody levels. Human rabies immune globulin therapy significantly increased the GMT of all groups on day 7, unlike equine antirabies serum (EARS). Both antisera suppressed antibody responses to PCEC on days 14 and 28. Three generalized reactions probably related to EARS were the only serious side effects. An eight-site i.d. PCEC vaccine regimen proved as immunogenic as the routine i.m. schedule and, if implemented as post-exposure prophylaxis, would be the cheapest widely available tissue culture vaccine regimen. The protective efficiency should now be tested in patients bitten by rabid animals.

Background: In India, presently there are two purified chick embryo cell culture vaccines (PCECV) viz., Rabipur (Flury LEP strain) and Vaxirab – N (Pitman Moore strain) which are commonly used both in public as well as private sectors. The present study was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy in terms of safety, immunogenicity and survival status of both the PCECV administered animal exposures taking complete PEP at the anti-rabies clinic.Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted at the anti-rabies clinic, Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bangalore, India. 86 suspect rabid dog bite cases attending clinic were enrolled and followed up for 1year. All the animal bite cases were given post exposure prophylaxis of full course of PCECV i.e. Rabipur or Vaxirab - N as per schedule intradermally using updated Thai Red Cross regimen. The rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) concentrations on days 14, 28, 90, and 180 were tested by modified rapid fluores­cent focus inhibition test.Results: Out of 86 study subjects, 43 subjects received Rabipur and another 43 subjects received Vaxirab –N vaccines. The incidence of adverse drug events (ADEs) was found to be 9.3%. All subjects had protective RVNA titers of ³0.5 IU/ml from day 14 till day 180. All the study subjects were healthy and alive after 6 months of completing PEP.Conclusions: The currently available purified chick embryo cell culture rabies vaccines are safe, immunogenic and clinically effective for post exposure prophylaxis in animal bite cases, which will help in eliminating human rabies by 2020.
