FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 3, 2012
LANSING - Since originally updating the public on July 30, more information regarding the employment history of a hepatitis C-positive healthcare worker has identified another Michigan hospital. The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has been investigating the employment history of this individual who was arrested recently in New Hampshire for allegedly obtaining injectable narcotics and infecting patients with the hepatitis C virus.
The number of Michigan hospitals in which this individual is confirmed to have previously worked has increased to at least seven from 2003-2007. The individual is known to have been infected with hepatitis C since at least June 2010. A negative hepatitis C test result at one hospital during his employment allows MDCH to exclude two hospitals from further examination as this individual posed no risk to patients at these facilities. An updated list of facilities dates, hospital areas and procedures of interest, and facility contact information:
|
Hospital Name |
Dates and Areas or Procedures of Interest |
Facility Contact Information |
| St. John Hospital and Medical Center |
July-September 2005 |
1-313-343-3311 or 1-855-767-3311 Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. |
| Sinai Grace Hospital | July-October 2005 Interventional radiology patients who received intravenous narcotics |
1-888-300-3627 or www.dmc.org/mdch |
| Harper Hospital | October 2005-September 2006 Cardiac catheterization laboratory patients |
1-888-300-3627 or www.dmc.org/mdch |
| University of Michigan Hospital (Main Campus) | September 11-December 8, 2006 |
1-877-233-4040 |
| Oakwood Annapolis Hospital | January 15-September 5, 2007 Interventional radiology & cardiac catheterization laboratory patients who received injectable narcotics |
1-734-467-4111 |
MDCH continues to recommend that all individuals with known risk factors for hepatitis C virus be tested. If you were a patient at one or more of the listed facilities during the identified time periods and you received an injectable narcotic, you may have a risk factor of which you were previously unaware. You should consult the identified facility contact and/or your primary care provider regarding hepatitis C testing. If you do not know if an injectable narcotic was administered to you, contact the facility to find out more information. While this testing is important, it need not be considered an emergency procedure.
Because this is an ongoing investigation, MDCH will continue to identify past employment history and work with all identified facilities in Michigan as well as the CDC. The MDCH will provide any updates to this information as it becomes available. For questions and information about hepatitis C, please visit the MDCH website at www.michigan.gov/hivstd or the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/hepatitis.
