Senator questions infection controls
Columbus Dispatch – DAYTON — U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown has called failures in infection control at the Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center’s dental clinic “an outrage” and requested a Senate hearing.
His comments Friday came three days after the Dayton VA offered free screenings to at least 535 veterans to see whether they were infected with hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV at the dental clinic between 1992 and July 2010.
