The patient had the organ transplanted at a hospital in Ohio in December and died in January, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said.
A subsequent investigation that also involved the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ohio Department of Health determined the patient got rabies from the donated organ. Sutfin did not specify which organ was transplanted.
It takes 24-72 hours to confirm if an animal has rabies. That’s just not time that organ donations have.
Are you responding to the right person? That was kind of my point. Patients die waiting for test results.
I think they were agreeing with you
Yeah, I see that now. I assumed they meant to respond to OP.
