Public Health Response to a Potentially Rabid Bear Cub -- Iowa, 1999
DFA test results in which staining of antigen is weak or that reveals sparse or focal inclusions often are caused by nonspecific antibody binding or less-than-optimum test conditions. Cross-contamination of negative samples at necropsy with material from strong positive samples tested earlier also can cause sporadic staining in a negative sample. DFA tests that are not clearly positive or negative should be repeated by remaking slides from reserved brain tissue and repeating the test, using reagents from two different commercial sources and using additional specificity controls. If test results remain equivocal, alternative confirmatory tests, such as virus isolation (through cell culture or mouse inoculation) or PCR assays, should be performed (5). Additional amplification, such as a nested RT-PCR assay, is unnecessary and inappropriate for routine diagnostic applications. Postexposure prophylaxis can be initiated during the diagnostic testing process and discontinued if negative res ... [Read More]
