Health agency calls for Sheridan patient testing

The Wyoming Department of Health says Sheridan Memorial Hospital should offer testing for three diseases to patients exposed to inadequately sterilized surgical airways between last May and November. State health officials say the CDC recommended testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. Doctors say that CDC physicians believe that while the risk that any patient contracted any of the diseases is low, "they cannot say it is nonexistent."
