Baby Fae dies of heart, kidney failure By United Press International LOMA LINDA, Calif. — Baby Fae, the tiny infant who captured the attention of the world by living longer than any other person ever to receive an animal heart Doctors at Loma Linda University Medical Center said the infant's kinetics began to fail about noon, and the walnut-sized heart of a baboon that had saved her life in a historic experimental operation Oct. 26 gave out. Doctors detected what they called a "moderate rejection episode" Friday and began giving Baby Fae increased doses of powerful anti-rejection drugs. They said they were conservative in administering the drugs because of the danger of causing kidney damage. THE BABY, WHO attracted worldwide attention by becoming the longest-living recipient of an animal's heart, was born in 1908. She fell in love with her with the equivalent of half a heart. After being told her baby would die within a month, the 23-year-old mother — whose identity was a closely guarded secret — was introduced to Leonard Bailer, a man who had worked for the years after his death, transplanting infants involved in goats. Friends of the woman told reporters she decided to let LaTeX perform the experimental operation because without it, her From the beginning, doctors said they expected the baby's immune system to try to break down the toxin.
