VA Clinic Patients Who Received a Colonoscopy Warned of Infection Risk February 16, 2009 AboutLawsuits Add Your Comments Thousands of patients who received a colonoscopy at VA clinics in Tennessee and Georgia may have been exposed to a risk of infection according to warnings issued last week. The Department of Veterans Affairs has mailed registered letters to 6,378 patients treated at the Alvin C. York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, who received a colonoscopy between April 23, 2003 and December 1, 2009. An additional 1,800 letters were sent to veterans who were treated at an ear, nose and throat clinic at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia between January 2008 and November 2008.

Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Patients treated during these times may have come in contact with other patients’ infectious bodily fluids. Free blood tests are being offered to those affected and no infections have been identified so far. At the Tennessee VA Medical Center, the infection risk appears to have been caused by a valve in the colonoscopy equipment being connected incorrectly and the tubing attached to the colonoscope may not have been changed properly between patients. According to the letters sent to patients, the valve-tube connection does not come into contact with the patient during the procedure, but there might still be a potential risk of being exposed to an infection like HIV or hepatitis. At the Georgia VA Medical Center, problems were found with endoscopic equipment used at the ear, nose and throat clinic. Patients may have been exposed to infection as a result of an improperly disinfected instrument that was used during some procedures. VA officials have apologized for the issues, which appear to have been caused by human mistake. They have stressed that the risk of infection is very small, but are still recommending blood tests for those who were treated with the equipment. As a result of the problems, VA Medical Centers throughout the United States are instituting special training sessions. In January 2008, approximately 50,000 people in the Greater Las Vegas area were notified that they may have been exposed to a risk of HIV or hepatitis infection after it was discovered that two privately owned and operated endoscopy clinics were engaging in unsafe medical practices, such as re-using syringes and single dose vials of anesthesia for multiple patients. As of October 2007, Nevada health officials had identified 114 cases of potentially fatal hepatitis C among those who received a colonoscopy at either of the two Las Vegas clinics between March 2004 and January 2008.

A sister with questions January 25, 2012 I have a loved one who just found out about the colonoscopy infection out break in GA. He was one of the ones who was infected. We have no clue what to do from here? Can you please give us the name of a lawer anything to help us along.. Please Help us Eric August 24, 2011 I was stuck by a lanset at work, and went to a clinic to be tested for HIV and tested negative (1998) and was suppose to be test on a regular basiss, but the clinic never set my return appointments. This was workman’s comp and they where resposible to set my appointments. Then I went into the same clinic for a different reason in 2001 and they told me at that time I should have been on regular appointments for testing and that they dropped the ball. They asked me if I wanted to be tested and I agreed–I then tested positive. Because I am a 50% vet I began treatments at the Va. I had many disscussions with my doctor about how I aquired HIV. And one point he brought up was that I couldn’t get it from a flat blade such as a lanset (diabeties). Then I heard about the colonoscopy feasco with The three Hospitals mentioned in the newpaper in the Orlando Sentinal. I brought this up to my infectious desiese doctor who has been treating me, because I remember the one I had in 2001 was antiiquated compared to further one’s I got after that one and he totally got upset with me and said it was out of the question….I believe I got HIV from that Colonoscapy….But as they say I can”t prove it Allan February 1, 2011 My wife had 2 colonoscopies. One in 2008 and one in 2009. In 2009 chlamidia was found at the top of her small intestine. The Doctor basically blamed the patient and told her not to tell me. The first colonoscopy was done at the Durham VAMC.in 2008. This was the right time fram for all the infections, but I do not know of any others in Durham. If we have a case I sure would like to know it.
