Rabies antibodies: Rabies is such a deadly disease that spreads from the bite of an infected animal and if the treatment is not found in time, death is almost fixed. Over the years, its treatment has been dependent on external antibodies and complex injections, but now doctors have found a way that will make the body make its own antibodies. This discovery will not only make treatment easier, but will also increase the hope of saving the lives of patients in poor and remote areas.
How was a challenging journey
Rabies is a viral disease, which spreads by bite or scratching of infected dog, cat, monkey or other animal. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), every year about 59 thousand people in the world lose their lives, most of which are from rural areas of Asia and Africa. This disease has also been a big health challenge in India. Till now, external antibodies were given in the form of injections, which were expensive, available in limited amounts and sometimes with side effects.

Revolutionary discovery of AIIMS Gorakhpur
Chairman of Pharmacology Department of AIIMS Gorakhpur, Prof. Hira Bhalla has done a unique study with many well -known experts of the country. Such technology has been developed in this research, which will make antibodies in the patient’s body itself. That is, there will be no need to injure antibody from outside. This technique activates the body’s immune system in such a way that it immediately responds against the rabies virus and prevent the infection from spreading.
Horse blood needs finished
Till now, in severe cases of rabies, “rabies immunoglobulin” (RIG) was given, which was mostly prepared with horse blood. Its preparations were expensive and complex, as well as availability was limited. The need for this process can be eliminated with the introduction of new technology. This will reduce the cost of treatment and rural and poor patients will also get immediate and accessible treatment.
New hope of treatment
If this technique is successful on a large scale, then it will prove to be a historic turn in the treatment of rabies. This will not only increase the chances of saving the patient’s life, but will also save time and resources. Apart from this, the delivery and storage problems of the vaccine will also be reduced.
