Results of Matched Case-Control Study
• Among 19 cases and 31 controls, illness was significantly associated with exposure to frogs (63% cases vs 3% controls, mOR=24.4, CI=4.0-infinity).
• Among 6 case-patients who knew the frog type, all reported African Dwarf Frogs.
Results of Environmental Sampling
• Environmental samples from aquariums containing African Dwarf Frogs in 4 patients’ homes yielded Salmonella Typhimurium isolates matching the outbreak strain. (CO, UT, OH, NM)
• Common breeder in California identified during traceback investigation– Environmental samples from breeder’s facility yielded
outbreak strain
Historical Case Investigation
• Asking states to interview historical cases from Jan 1, 2008 - present with revised case questionnaire.

p.m. Sequenced as Indian canine virus, 10/30
Hospitalization
Milwaukee protocol initiated Induced coma Samples sent daily to CDC to monitor viral
load and antibody levels Frequent consultation with Dr. Willoughby
Normal blood and intracranial pressures became increasingly difficult to maintain
Hospitalization
Transcutaneous pacer, continuous renal dialysis and continual CSF draining required by November 12
Patient died November 20, 2009 after 24 days of hospitalization
Postmortem performed by hospital and samples sent to CDC
Possible Rabies Exposures
Travel to India July 3 – August 7, 2009 Father-in-law reported patient experienced
scratch or bite from unknown dog while jogging No post-exposure prophylaxis pursued Sequence consistent with Indian canine virus
Potential bat exposure Rabid bat in his workplace, but not in his building
Public Health Investigation
Potential exposure to others Hospital staff Wife and 2 children and family members Friends of the family Workplace exposures involving 3 clinical facilities
2 in Maryland 1 in Washington, DC
Infectious period: October 8 forward
Public Health Investigation
Two survey tools created Healthcare workers Coworkers, friends, family
VDH, Fairfax Health District, MD DHMH and DCDOH conducted exposure assessments
Surveys
Healthcare worker survey Contact with infectious materials Types of procedures performed PPE worn when performing procedures
Household and coworker survey Contact with infectious materials Activities shared with patient
Results
Hospital: Fairfax County HD (FHD) assessed 70 of 70 potentially exposed individuals 24 pursued PEP
17 met criteria for non-bite exposure 7 did not meet criteria but pursued PEP
Family: FHD assessed all family identified as having contact with the patient during the infectious period (n=6) 3 immediate and 3 additional family members All pursued PEP
Results
DC: 34 of 40 contacts at patient’s worksite assessed 2 close friends pursued PEP
MD: 63 of 63 contacts at patient’s worksites assessed Facility 1: 19/19 individuals assessed Facility 2: 44/44 individuals assessed No PEP pursued
PEP Summary, Human Rabies, Virginia, 2009
Exposure Group # Assessed # given PEP
VA Hospital 70 24
Family/friends 7 7
DC Facility 34 1
MD Facility #1 19 0
MD Facility #2 44 0
Total 174 32
Challenges and Lessons Learned
Public health involvement early in the process associated with potential human rabies cases is important
Outreach to pathologists in regard to autopsy procedures is important
Good to be familiar with the legal basis for information requested as part of a public health investigation

Employee HCP:Fever, Chills, Chest pain, arm numbness
ED:Chest pain, spasms in back, and chills
Left hospital against medical advice
ED:Chest Pain
Employee HCP:Fever & Cough
PCP:Muscle fasc., signs of sepsis
Admitted to Local Hospital-Placed on Resp Support
Transferred to tertiary care facility in KY
Condition continues to deteriorate
Patient died after being removed from life support
Autopsy performed
Patient has minor arm pain attributed to previous car accident but otherwise seems fine
Investigation
• Family, friends, co-workers interviewed for history and exposure to patient
• No history of animal bites• Told neighbor he ‘saw’ a bat (end of July)
– Did not mention a bite– Worked as a mechanic/welder– May not have recognized a bite or unaware of the
importance of being bitten
Investigation cont…
• Use standardized form– One for family/friends/co-workers– Different form for HCP
• Asked specific questions about potential saliva exposures
• Included a one page summary of risks and non-risks specific to exposures to human cases
• Also provided handouts and brochures on rabies virus
Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis
• 159 close contacts- 100% counseled• 147 individually interviewed- 92.5%
• 23 identified that MAY have been exposed to saliva • 18 started/completed PEP

Kentucky-Indiana 2009, rabies autopsy
1) Rabies diagnosis is extremely difficult to obtain2) Rabies is not high on the list of differential
diagnoses for encephalitis3) Human encephalitides often go undiagnosed4) Many pathologists are reluctant to perform autopsies on
possible rabies cases5) Rabies is interpreted as an “animal disease” in a
primary care setting6) Joint federal, state and local health department collaboration is
critical for successful diagnosis and disease mitigation

The Production of Antibody by Invading B Cells Is Required for the Clearance of Rabies Virus from the Central Nervous System
Rabies virus clearance from the CNS requires antibody production in CNS tissues
D. Craig Hooper
Thomas Jefferson University
1. Attenuated RV that spread to the CNS induce limited, therapeutic BBB permeability changes
2. BBB fails to “open” during lethal RV infections – few immune effectors reach the CNS and the virus is not cleared
Antibodies are the major effector in rabies immunity; how important is the BBB?
Peak circulating rabies-specific antibody levels occur after the restoration of BBB integrity
BBB permeability detected during rabies virus clearance is limited to fluid phase markers
CVS-F3 clearance correlates with antibody synthesis in the CNS
B cells in the CNS during CVS-F3 clearance
B cells infiltrate the CNS tissues and produce antiviral antibodies in situ
T helper cells(CD4)
B cells(CD19)
Immunoglobulin(anti-Ig)
Rabies virus-specific antibodies produced by B cells infiltrating the CNS differ from those produced in the periphery
B cell growth/differentiation/maturation factors in the
RV infected CNS
Germinal centers and Ig affinity maturation in the CNS?

Conclusions
1. The clearance of attenuated rabies viruses from CNS tissues is associated with limited fluid phase BBB permeability
2. Serum rabies virus-specific antibody titers peak after BBB integrity has largely been restored
3. B cells enter the CNS during the response to attenuated rabies viruses
4. B cell growth/differentiation/maturation factors are produced in the CNS and B cells transiently display germinal center markers
5. Rabies virus-specific antibodies produced in the CNS may differ from those produced in periphery (isotype, specificity?)
Are antibodies capable of clearing rabies virus from infected CNS tissues more commonly produced in CNS tissues?
