A man in the US state of Maryland has died of rabies, which he contracted from an infected kidney transplant more than a year ago, health officials say.
美国马里兰州一名男子死于狂犬病，该病感染于一年多前的一次肾移植手术。
The early March death has led officials to treat three other patients who received organs from the same donor1.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) say doctors did not suspect rabies（狂犬病） as the cause of death in the donor and did not test for it.
Typically no more than three cases of rabies are diagnosed in the US yearly.
The donor died of raccoon（浣熊） rabies in Florida in 2011 after moving there from North Carolina.
The recipients3 of the donor's heart, liver and other kidney are receiving anti-rabies vaccines4, the CDC said in a news release on Friday. They live in Illinois, Georgia and Florida.
"The organ transplantation occurred more than a year before the recipient2 developed symptoms and died of rabies," the CDC said, adding such an incubation period is much longer than usual but not unheard of.
