Rabies
in Transplant Recipients: Questions and Answers
Released July 2, 2004
On June
30, 2004, CDC confirmed a diagnosis of rabies in three recipients of
transplanted organs and in their common donor (see MMWR
article). Patients developed an unexplained febrile illness following
transplantation and subsequently died. State and local health departments
and hospitals are working to evaluate potential contacts of cases to
determine if rabies post-exposure treatment (PEP) is needed for any contacts.
