Abstract
It has not been reported that administration of combining rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin resulted in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) yet. This report described that an old man acquired ADEM after being administrated with purified Vero cell rabies vaccine (PVRV) and Human Rabies Immunoglobulin (HRIG). Then he was given intravenous and oral glucocorticoids. Simultaneously, rabies vaccination was continued with purified Chick embryo cell vaccines (PCECV) instead of PVRV. Furthermore, we analyzed the rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) levels in the patient's blood at different time points after rabies vaccination. Collectively, we observed that PCECV vaccination did not affect the prognosis of ADEM, and glucocorticoid was crucial and effective, which had no significant influence on efficacy of PCECV.
