Title: Organ Donor Unknowingly Gave Rabies to Cornea Graft Recipients
Post by: Lartinos on June 01, 2026, 07:17:24 PM

Two transplant recipients contracted rabies after receiving organs from a donor unknowingly infected with the disease.

Organ donor James Martin is suspected to have died of rabies, and both the tissue from his cornea and his kidney were infected, ultimately leading to the kidney recipient's death.

Rabies transmission through organ donation is extremely rare, with only three documented cases between 1978 and 2024.

Absolutely horrible.

The donor's family said he had been scratched by a rabid skunk and he didn't seek medical help. This seems to be a sad reoccurring similarity of people who die from rabies. They never seek medical help or they don't know they are infected. I remember a story of a kid who got scratched by a bat and because he was scared of needles, his family chose to not bring him to the hospital. He later died of rabies.
