COLORADO SPRINGS — The sole patient who was thought to have possibly contracted hepatitis C from a former Audubon Surgery Center employee got the disease elsewhere, Audubon officials said Monday.
Audubon made the determination based on DNA analysis.
“Basically, now that Audubon has completed testing, there is no evidence that any patient at Audubon was infected with hepatitis C from the former employee, and possibly none were ever actually exposed,” Audubon spokeswoman Amy Triandiflou told The Gazette.
The former employee, Kristen Diane Parker, has pleaded guilty to several federal charges that she infected at least 16 patients at Rose Medical Center in Denver with the viral liver disease.
