What is a post exposure treatment for rabies?
I'll start with prevention, which is the much more common response to a potential rabies exposure. The latest protocol is a series of 5 intramuscular shots vaccinating you against rabies (these can be given in the upper arm) as well as a large dose of anti-rabies IgG injected as close to the wound site as possible. This is validated to be very effective in preventing a person from developing rabies. Treatment once clinical symptoms start is another matter - it takes strong anti-viral drugs, a medially-induced coma and artificially lowering the body temperature to attempt to treat rabies. This has so far only been successful once, on a teenage girl from Wisconsin, United States and is called the Wisconsin protocol - it has yet to be successfully replicated elsewhere.
