| Summary: | Among 78 rabies suspected brain samples examined, 61 were found positive in direct fluorescent antibody test (FAT) and maximum percentage of positivity was observed (91.8 per cent) in impression smears from the brain stem. A thorough examination of various parts of brain tissue including the brain stem is needed before giving a concrete result for rabies diagnosis using FAT. |
