in an organ donor and three organ recipients at Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC) in Dallas,
Texas. Hospital and public health officials in Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas initiated
public health investigations to identify donor and recipient contacts, assess exposure risks,
and provide rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP). On July 7, CDC was notified of an additional
organ transplant patient at BUMC who had died of encephalopathy of unknown origin in early June.
