In a 55-year-old man who died of rabies two months after a bite on the hand, virus was not demonstrated at the site of the bite but was present in appreciable amounts in the cervical cord and medulla, the cornu ammonis, and the olfactory bulbs; only a trace was found in the nasal mucosa and the tonsillar and pha-ryngeal tissue, and none was found in the feces, saliva, subarachnoid fluid, and heart blood. The patient's serum obtained post-mortem had no neutralizing antibodies for the virus.
