Transmission of rabies virus from an organ donor to four transplant recipients

Article Abstract:

Blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and tissues from the recipients were tested with a variety of assays and pathological stains for numerous causes of encephalitis and samples from the recipients were inoculated into mice. This report documenting the transmission of rabies virus from an organ donor to multiple recipients was found to underscore the challenges of preventing and detecting transmission of unusual pathogens through transplantation.
