“…Canine rabies causes approximately 59000 human deaths globally (37266 deaths in Asia; 21509 in Africa and 182 in Latin America) (Hampson et al, 2015) and 50% of the death cases are reported in Asian and African regions (CDC, 2016). In Asia, India has the highest number of human death caused by rabies (WHO, 2016).…”

“…Out of 36 rabies patients, just five survived rabies infection after showing symptoms, and the patients had undergone extensive treatment known as the Milwaukee protocol (Hemachudha et al, 2013). The Island of Bali in Indonesia has been undergoing a serious eruption of canine rabies since 2008 and has also killed about 78 people as of late September 2010 (Hampson et al, 2015). About 583.5 million USD is spent annually for rabies prevention (Knobel et al, 2005).…”

“…Rabies is a serious public threat which remains neglected and under reported in many developing countries (Cleaveland, Lankester, Townsend, Lembo, & Hampson, 2014). More than 55,000 human deaths occur annually, mostly in Asia and Africa (Cleaveland et al, 2014;Abela Ridder, 2015;Fooks et al, 2014;Hampson et al, 2015;Knobel et al, 2005). Bites from domestic dogs account for 99% of all human cases worldwide (WHO, 2005), with majority of (>50%) deaths occurring in children under 15 years old (Knobel et al, 2005).…”

Rabies is an endemic disease in the Philippines. Addressing the disease at source, massive efforts towards dog vaccination and public awareness on rabies have been pursued by various Local Government Units (LGUs) in the country. While marked improvements have been seen, rabies continues to persist where it exists, largely owing to poor surveillance of the disease in animals and weak coordination between the human and animal health sectors. To bridge these critical gaps, the BAI-OIE STANDZ Rabies Project in the Philippines, together with the key rabies stakeholders in Bicol Region, developed the "Practical Inter-sectoral Linking"-an operational protocol and practical network of local key players (human health, animal health and LGUs) involved in rabies detection, reporting and implementation of appropriate interventions. It is initiated by recognized triggers such as detection of confirmed or probable rabies cases and is closely linked with early detection in animals, case investigation, quarantine, diagnosis, reporting and post-exposure prophylaxis. People down to the village level are informed about the routine, protocol and contact details of relevant people in responding to bite victims with the flowchart provided by the tool. This tool was initially rolled out in pilot provinces in the Bicol Region and to date has already documented success in initiating timely actions to 31 laboratory confirmed rabies cases being investigated, which actually saved 46 human lives upon further investigation. With this established at the LGU level, the goal to timely detect suspect or probable rabies cases and promptly implement appropriate interventions are expected to improve, while local officials are empowered with their roles as frontline workers in the prevention and control of rabies.

“…Rabies remains prevalent in developing countries. According to recent estimates (6)(7)(8), canine rabies still causes around 59,000 deaths and over 3.7 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) each year; this is five times the fatalities reported during the 2004-2005 Ebola epidemic in West Africa (9). The greatest risk of developing rabies falls upon the poorest regions of the world, especially in rural areas of Africa and Asia (1, 6,8), where vaccination of domestic dogs is not widely implemented and where access to PEP is most limited or unaffordable for target populations (10).…”

We report two cases of probable rabies in near-term/at-term pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. One baby was delivered by caesarean section and the other one vaginally. Both received post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), including RIG and vaccine and both are alive and healthy, at 9 and 24 months, respectively. We found 14 other published cases of infants born from rabid mothers. One confirmed case of rabies transmission occurred. The other children born from rabid mothers, with or without caesarean section, did not acquire rabies, and were still healthy at the time of reporting, with or without post-exposure prophylaxis. Mother-to-child transmission of rabies is possible, but rare, because rabies virus is not present in blood and exposure of the baby's mucosa to maternal infectious fluids and tissue seems limited. A conservative approach should however, be adopted, and rabies PEP, including RIG, be administered as soon as possible to babies born from probably rabid mothers. Whether cesarean-section clearly provides prevention remains unclear. Rabies can be prevented in pregnant women by PEP administration. Rabies cell-culture vaccines are safe and effective and can be administered to pregnant and lactating women, as well as newborns. Efforts must focus on raising rabies awareness in the general population, as well as in healthcare workers.
