This isn't the first time of human to human rabies transmission. Eye and skin grafts have transfered rabies. The CDC has some outdated 80's stuff and they reference standards performed via AATB. Also, who may have done the service might exceed those standards. If you test for HIV some anomaly should have come up, prior to death (untimely) his counts should have been all over and a review been made. He was misdiagnosed plain and simple. Lawsuit anyone?

Although rabies has never been transmitted from an organ donor, eight people - one in the United States and seven elsewhere - have developed rabies after having corneal transplants.

I guess a transplanted cornea is considered tissue.

From my reading of the article, the organ donar died from the subarachnoid hemorrhage. Unless the imaging study, my guess it's a CAT scan, shows evidence of encephalitis, he had an occult rabies infection and was not yet symptomatic for rabies. I don't know about a lawsuit if they followed the standard of care. I'll re-read the article.
