NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jul 12 –
One surgeon with hepatitis B may have infected up to 28 of his patients with the virus, Dutch researchers report in a recent issue of Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology .
Dr. Gezina Weers-Pothoff of Bosch Medicentrum in the Netherlands and colleagues realized that the physician was infecting his patients after diagnosing hepatitis B infection in one patient with no risk factors other than having received an operation, and after finding the virus in two other patients treated at the same hospital.
All of the patients had been operated on by the same surgeon.
