This article deals with post-exposure treatment of contacts of human cases of rabies. Experience suggests that rabies is hardly ever transmitted from person to person if at all. With the modern generation of vaccines against rabies, the use of post-exposure treatment is more widespread. A lot of contacts of patients with rabies in developed countries are treated, most of them being health care workers. This treatment is however not practised so often in developing countries where the supply of highly protective vaccines with a few side effects is low. According to reports good hygienic practice in nursing these patients is well established.
本文探讨人类狂犬病病例接触者的暴露后治疗。经验表明，狂犬病即便存在人际传播，也是极为罕见的。随着现代狂犬病疫苗的出现，暴露后治疗的应用更为广泛。在发达国家，许多狂犬病患者的接触者都接受了治疗，其中大多数是医护人员。然而，在发展中国家，这种治疗并不常用，因为高效、副作用小的疫苗供应不足。据报道，护理这些患者的良好卫生习惯已得到充分确立。
