If the infection is confined to the nervous system and treated, then it might be OK.

I still don’t understand why it was ok to transplant an obviously infectious disease (bacterial meningitis) to recipients - even if that is what the donor wished. Would the disease not be transplanted through the donated organs?

Then the misdiagnosis found after death (lymphoma) presented - why were the donor organs not examined for potential hazard before they were transplanted into the recipients.

What is happening to the medical system?

I appreciate that transplant procedures have to be done in the fastest time optimal - but to rush infected organs into already sick people..... insanity reigns.
