...ironic reason that so much remains to be learned about rabies, says Dr. Robert G. Scholtens of the PHS's Communicable Disease Center, is that Pasteur produced an apparently workable vaccine so fast. His success in 1885 stifled medical interest in investigation of the disease...
Rabbits & Duck Eggs. Pasteur's and later rabies vaccines are unique in being given after the victim has been infected. This is because the disease has an amazingly variable incubation period-from ten days to eight months in both man and dog. An infected animal is not literally "rabid" or dangerous until ten days before its inevitable death. If a rabid dog bites a child in the arm or leg, the virus will stay localized for weeks before it attacks his central nervous system. Doctors usually start daily injections of vaccine into abdominal muscle without delay. If the animal...
Immune Reaction. One of the common types of kidney disease, said Cornell's Dr. David D. Thompson, is inflammation of the filtering system itself, called glomerulonephritis. Richard Bright, who died before Pasteur even suggested the microbial theory of infectious diseases, noted that many victims of this kidney disorder had recently recovered from scarlet fever. Now that scarlet fever is known to be caused by streptococci, said Dr. Thompson, physicians can predict an outbreak of nephritis after a scarlet-fever epidemic...
...known as Amanita phalloides,* whose tender meat can cause violent abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, liver damage, intense thirst, convulsions, delirium, and death in from five to ten days. Concerned, Paris officials dispatched special champignon sherlocks to inspect incoming truckloads of wild mushrooms at the central market, and the Pasteur Institute stepped up shipments of an antitoxin serum...
Died. Gaston Ramon, 76, French microbiologist, who followed in Louis Pasteur's footsteps at the Pasteur Institute, in 1923 developed the first safe and effective diphtheria vaccine, later produced the first antitetanus vaccine; of a heart attack; in Paris...
