New charges for New Hampshire man accused of spreading hepatitis C
David Kwiatkowski, a former lab technician at Exeter, N.H. Hospital, was arrested in July at a hospital in Massachusetts where he was receiving medical treatment and charged with tampering with needles and infecting at least 31 people who were treated at Exeter Hospital with hepatitis C. A former New Hampshire hospital technician faces new federal charges for allegedly infecting more than 30 patients with hepatitis C using virus-tainted syringe needles he had previously used on himself. David Kwiatkowski, 33, a traveling medical technician who had most recently worked at Exeter Hospital in southern New Hampshire, was charged with seven counts of tampering with a consumer product and seven counts of obtaining controlled substances by fraud, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Hampshire John Kacavas said on Thursday. The charges replace a two-count indictment filed in June.
