Dayton Daily News: Two VA Dental Clinic Patients Test Positive for Hepatitis B

DAYTON — Two patients seen at the Dayton VA Medical Center’s dental clinic have confirmed cases of hepatitis B, a spokesman said Monday.
VA officials are unsure if the two patients contracted the disease at the dental clinic. A clinic dentist failed to follow proper infection control protocols, potentially exposing at least 535 patients to bloodborne pathogens between January 1992 and July 2010.
