UK nurse died following needlestick
A sad and thankfully rare incident. This nurse received a needlestick injury and developed HIV after testing the blood sugar levels of a HIV positive patient “The hospital room was not equipped with the specialist disposable device usually used for HIV patients, so she used a different type of needle, Southwark coroner’s court was told”. The full story can be read in the Evening Standard.
