A Michigan man has died from rabies after receiving a kidney transplant from a donor who was infected while saving a kitten from a skunk. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that this case is part of two tragic fatalities associated with rabies-infected kidney transplants. The disease, which is almost always fatal once symptoms appear, underscores the risks associated with organ transplants from donors exposed to rabies. The incidents have raised awareness about potential transmission of rabies through organ donation, highlighting the need for thorough screening of donors.
