LOS ANGELES (AP) – Officials at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
say a heart surgeon unwittingly infected five patients during valve replacement
surgeries earlier this year.
The
Los Angeles Times reports the infections occurred after tiny tears
in the surgeon's latex surgical gloves allowed bacteria from a skin
inflammation on his hand to pass into the patients' hearts. Four of the
patients needed a second operation and are still recovering.
The newspaper says the outbreak in June led to investigations by the
hospital and both the LA County and state departments of public health. The
federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was also consulted.
Hospital officials tell the Times the infections were
caused by an unusual confluence of events: the nature of the surgery, the
microscopic rips in the gloves and the surgeon's skin condition.
