Applying the Milwaukee protocol to treat canine rabies in Equatorial Guinea

Scand J Infect Dis. 2009;41(5):372-5. doi: 10.1080/00365540902798333.

Abstract

In this first report of rabies in Equatorial Guinea, problems accompanying the application of the Milwaukee Protocol are described. With its apparent success, and despite a subsequent death from complications of malnutrition, we sound a note of optimism that canine as well as bat rabies may be treatable.
