Not sure about the Recife protocol, but it's pretty much accepted now that the Milwaukee protocol doesn't work[1][2] - the initial case may have been some other encephalitis mimicking rabies.

How did you get that “the initial case may have been some other encephalitis mimicking rabies.” from that paper?

AFAICT The paper questions the hypothesis that the 2 additional survivors had rabies, but not the first patient.

Back when I was a paramedic, I HAD a rabies patient that survived using the Milwaukee protocol.

It doesn't work very well... but it does seem like it occasionally works.
