5 patients get HIV-infected organs in Taiwan error (AP)
TAIPEI, Taiwan ? One of Taiwan's best regarded hospitals said HIV-infected organs were mistakenly transplanted into five patients after a hospital staffer misheard the donor's test results by telephone.
The five are now being treated with anti-AIDS drugs, an official at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei said Monday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because she is not authorized to deal with the media.
The hospital said on its website over the weekend the mistake occurred because a transplant staffer believed he heard the English word "non-reactive" on the donor's standard HIV test, while the word "reactive" was actually given.
The information on the test result was given over the telephone and was not double-checked, as required by standard procedures, the hospital statement said.
"We deeply apologize for the mistake," the hospital said.
The Health Department will look into the mistake and decide on possible penalties for NTUH, department official Shih Chung-liang said. If negligence was found to have caused the blunder, Shih said the hospital may have to suspend its transplant programs for up to a year in addition to unspecified fines.
The donor was a 37-year-old man who fell into a coma on Aug. 24 and his heart, liver, lungs and two kidneys were transplanted to five patients on the same day. NTUH said it transplanted four organs and the heart transplant was conducted at another hospital.
The donor's mother, who was not identified, told cable news stations that she felt terrible about the transplants and had not been aware of her son's ailment. She said he died after "falling from a high spot," without providing details.
Yao Ke-wu, who heads the health department of Hsinchu city, where the donor resided, decried the NTUH transplants as "appalling negligence."
He said NTUH staffers could have avoided the mistake by asking his department about the donor's medical history in advance and deplored that such inquiries were not mandatory in Taiwan.
Yao said the five organ receivers will very likely contract HIV and their treatment will be complicated because they also have to take medication to avoid rejection of the new organs.
The five recipients are Taiwanese. NTUH is among about a dozen well-equipped and highly-respected Taiwanese hospitals offering organ transplants.
There are also concerns among the physicians and nurses who conducted the transplants that they too may contract HIV. Medical staffers routinely take protections against bodily fluids during surgeries, but some experts also warned needle and other accidential cuts could still expose them to HIV.
Lee Nan-yao, a physician with the National Chengkung University Hospital, which performed the heart transplant, told the United Daily News that some physicians and nurses who had conducted the transplant "were depressed, and on the verge of panic."

Township residents may obtain federal flood insurance ? Sturgis ...
Sturgis Township has joined more than 21,000 communities nationwide that are allowed to purchase federally-backed flood insurance.
The availability follows the township?s adoption and enforcement of ordinances to reduce flood losses and acceptance by the National Flood Insurance Program.
Township residents will be able to purchase? flood insurance up to the limits under the regular phase of the program.
Sturgis Township trustee Michael Bobalik, who developed the paperwork to make the program possible, said there is a 30-day waiting period before flood insurance coverage goes into effect. The information must be formally advertised as a public notice.
For single-family homes, the building coverage limit is $250,000 and the contents coverage limit is $100,000.
Renters also can protect their belongings by purchasing contents coverage.
For commercial properties, the building and contents coverage limits are both $500,000.
Lenders must require borrowers whose properties are located in a designated flood hazard area to purchase flood insurance as a condition of receiving a federally backed mortgage loan in accordance with the Federal Disaster Protection Act of 1973.
The insurance program is implemented through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
There are more than 5.5 million flood insurance policies in? participating communities nationwide.
Bobalik said the township officials started to talk about the program in January. They adopted it in February.
?We had to adopt two resolutions,? Bobalik said. ?One was to? participate in program. The other was to manage it. Now, the building inspection is coordinated with flood insurance.?
Residents may call the township office at 651-3676, Bobalik said. The new ordinance eventually will appear on the township website at www.sturgistownship.org
