Suspected case of rabies in a patient immunized with anti-rabies vaccine

A patient in India showed signs of rabies despite being immunized with the anti-rabies vaccine through pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis. Rabies poses a significant public health issue in the country, with stray dogs responsible for nearly all human cases and approximately 20,000 annual deaths. This case raises concerns about potential reasons for vaccine failure and highlights the importance of proper treatment and guidelines.
