Air date: Apr 22, 2011

Three organ recipients come down with a mysterious illness. After all three patients die, an investigation by the Center for Disease Control finds that the organ donor had rabies. Also in the program, an illness characterized by skin lesions and high fever spreads throughout the Midwest. Doctors find the disease to be monkeypox, a relative of smallpox that can be transmitted from animals to humans.
