well, some time ago here in Germany several transplant patients died due to
a rabies infection of the donor. There's no test for rabies in early stages
and otherwise it is too rare in humans to be a standard test for transplant
organs.

And trying to find articles on that, I found a lot, but most of them
were old. "have been infected, three in critical condition, three are
watched", not much more.

http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/12340.html
was the most recent I could find.

But while browsing, I found an interesting detail here:
http://www.theage.com.au/news/World/Rabies-hits-German-transplant-
patients/2005/02/17/1108609344746.html (one line)

"Officials say there was no indication she had rabies when she died of
a heart attack induced by a cocaine and ecstasy binge."

Hmmm... interesting life style.

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,
just so, at no cost.

I guess beneath all these drug symptons rabies indications weren't that
easy to find. And with that life style, heart and liver wouldn't be of much
help as transplants.
