Abstract

Rabies, a fatal viral zoonotic disease, has become a public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis being available, there has been limited progress in developing treatments for rabies, emphasising the pressing need for productive solutions. We present a laboratory-confirmed human rabies case in which the patient survived without neurological sequelae after receiving intrathecal rabies immunoglobulin.
