The patient's medical history and concomitant medication details were not provided.   On 17-Aug-2021, the patient was vaccinated with the dose of RabAvert (inactivated Rabies Virus Vaccine, batch number: ARBA851A) at a dose reported as one, received intramuscularly in the left arm and for an unknown indication.   On 18-Aug-2021, next day after the vaccination, the patient lost control of her muscles in the legs and fell two times. The first episode happened in the evening at 18:00h and the same episode happened the next morning.   On 23-Aug-2021, five days after last vaccination, the patient experienced difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia).    At the time of the report, the events were still ongoing.  The reporter assessed all the events as non-serious. Causality assessment was not provided.

One day after the vaccination, the patient lost control of her muscles in the legs and fell two times. As reported, six days after the vaccination, the patient experienced difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia). The events of loss of control of legs, fall and dysphagia are unlisted for RabAvert according to the Datasheet. The patient's medical history and concomitant medication details were not provided. The outcome of the events was not recovered/not resolved. Due to plausible temporal relationship, the causality for the event of loss of control of legs is assessed as possibly related to the suspect vaccine, as contributory role of RabAvert cannot be excluded. The causality for the event of fall is assessed as not related to RabAvert, but more likely developed due to loss of control of legs. The causality for the event of dysphagia is assessed as not related to the suspect vaccine, due to unsuggestive temporal relationship. This case is considered non-serious.; Sender's Comments: The 25-year-old female patient was vaccinated with the dose of RabAvert for unknown indication.
