Confirmed: Rabies Cause of Death In Organ Transplant Case

Rabies Death In Organ Transplant Recipient Confirmed by Staff infoZine.  Kansas City infoZine.  March 18, 2013.

At the time of the donor's death, rabies was not suspected and therefore no rabies tests were performed.  Only after the current investigation was rabies established as the cause of death of the organ donor and recipient.  The three other patients who have received organs from the infected donor are now receiving anti-rabies shots.
