Leukocyte migration inhibition tests were carried out on 3 groups of patients: test group, cases of antirabies post-vaccinal complication; control group I, cases of infections like encephalitis or meningitis other than rabies and with no history of antirabies vaccine (ARV) injection or dog bite; and control group II, cases having a history of dog bite and a full course of ARV injections. Leukocyte migration inhibition was manifested only in the test group and not in the control groups at 0.05 ml antigen.
