From the AHAP Blog: Hospital worker accused of being "serial infector"
July 24, 2012
A former medical technician was arrested in connection to an Exeter, NH hepatitis C outbreak.
The tech is accused of infecting at least 30 people while working at the Exeter Hospital cardiac catheterization lab. He is also suspected with stealing the anesthetic Fentanyl.
The suspect, David Matthew Kwiatowski, was previously a traveling medical technician and had worked in at least six other states.
“The evidence gathered to date points irrefutably to Kwiatkowski as the source of the hepatitis C outbreak at Exeter Hospital. With his arrest, we have eliminated the menace this ‘serial infector’ posed to public health and safety,” said United States Attorney John P. Kacavas.
