<p>TRANSPLANT TROUBLE
</p>
<p> The still anonymous 35-year-old man who received a baboon's
liver in June is not doing well. The problem is infection, not
rejection. Dye injected into his bile ducts to make them show up
on X-rays apparently caused the infection, and the patient's
immune system, weakened by anti rejection drugs, could not
easily fight it. High doses of antibiotics reduced the
resulting fever. But when tests showed the liver was excreting
too little bile, the man's condition was downgraded to critical.
A similar transplant on another patient was postponed until
doctors resolve the situation.
