<p>For the seroprophylaxis (prevention by injecting antibodies) of rabies in subjects suspected to have been exposed to the rabies virus, particularly in the event of severe exposure e.g.:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Multiple transdermal bites or scratches</li>
	<li>Contamination of mucous membrane with saliva</li>
	<li>Severe bites located on the face, head, neck and hands</li>
	<li>When the domestic or wild animal responsible cannot be examined or is infected or suspected to be infected by the rabies virus</li>
	<li>Bites to young children</li>
</ul>

<p>Rabies Immunoglobulin provides passive immunization against rabies for prevention of rabies in patients after contact with a rabid animal or an animal presumed to be rabid. Anti rabies serum itself does not constitute an anti-rabies treatment and should always be used in conjunction with rabies vaccine.</p>
