Fever rabies vaccine

Viral vaccines are cultivated on inanimate media. Some examples include hepatitis b vaccine, influenza virus vaccine, measles virus vaccine, rabies vaccine, rubella vaccine, and yellow fever vaccine. The viral vaccines are available as lyophilized powder for reconstitution, or suspension for injections,... [Pg.298]

Observational studies An adsorbed human diploid cell rabies vaccine (Rabivax) has been tested in a post-licensing study in 150 cases of suspect rabid animal bites [42 ]. Adverse events included pain at the injection site (3.4%), swelling with induration (2.8%), and fever and headache (1.4%) there were no serious adverse events. [Pg.662]

Other vaccines available are those for influenza(flu), pneumonia (lifetime immunity), rabies, cholera, smallpox, typhus, typhoid, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Some vaccines can cause adverse effects especially to small children or the elderly. Flu vaccine has been implicated in the onset of a condition known as Guillain-Barre syndrome, a polyneuritis which can lead to anything from mild pain and weakness in the extremities to paralysis. These symptoms can last from a few weeks to a few months. [Pg.195]

Human diploid cell line WI-38 is derived from embryonic lung tissue with fibroblast morphology (Hayflick Moorhead, 1961). The cell line has a broad range of virus susceptibility and is used for the production of human virus vaccines rhinoviruses, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, rabies and yellow fever. The cells are anchorage dependent but will form a multilayered culture when held for long periods at 37°C with periodic pH adjustments. The cells have a hfe span of 50 10 population doublings, with a doubling time of 24h. [Pg.9]

While not recommended for routine administration, vaccines additional to those represented in the juvenile programme are available for individuals in special risk categories. These categories relate to occupational risks or risks associated with travel abroad. Such immunization protocols include those directed against cholera, typhoid, meningitis (type A), anthrax, hepatitis A and B, influenza, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, tick-borne encephalitis and yellow fever. [Pg.150]

His first successes with attenuated vaccines were with the anthrax bacillus, but it was his later work with rabies that revealed the enormous possibilities of attenuated vaccines. The word rabies is derived from the Latin rabere - to rave, and the causative virus is usually passed to humans by the bite of a rabid dog or a wild canine (fox, wolf, etc.), and very occasionally by a bat. Certainly, wild canines are the natural reservoirs of the virus. The incubation period is typically 20 to 90 days, and after this, someone unlucky enough to be bitten by a rabid animal will suffer a period of malaise, mild fever and headache for a few days, followed by a period of excitement, when the patient cannot sleep and becomes apprehensive and easily alarmed. There is intermittent fever and some localised paralysis, especially of the neck and throat muscles, which makes swallowing problematic and is probably responsible for the fear of water (hydrophobia). More severe paralysis follows and this leads inexorably to cardiovascular collapse, coma and death, all within about one week of the appearance of the first symptoms. [Pg.100]
