Data collected during 1984 from an active animal rabies surveillance system and human rabies post-exposure prophylaxis program at the US Naval Hospital, Subic Bay Naval Facility, Philippines revealed that potential rabies exposure, most commonly from dog bites or scratches, was reported for 311 US military and civilian personnel and four Filipino employees working on the facility. Seventy-nine persons (25 per cent) required complete post-exposure prophylaxis. Brain tissue from two captured dogs implicated in attacks was subsequently found to be positive for rabies antigen on fluorescent antibody testing
