TY - JOUR AU - Auslander, Michael AU - Kaelin, Colleen T1 - Rabies Postexposure Prophylaxis Survey—Kentucky, 1994 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 1997 VL - 3 IS - 2 SP - 199 SN - 1080-6059 AB - A survey of rabies postexposure prophylaxis administered by local health departments for a 1-year period showed that very few patients received treatment as a result of exposure to a confirmed rabid animal. Most prophylaxis was administered for contact with domestic animals in situations where existing recommendations for quarantine or laboratory testing of the animal were not followed. Because rabies in domestic animals in Kentucky is uncommon, these findings suggest that had the existing recommendations been followed, the prophylaxis would have been unnecessary in most cases.
