GREENVILLE, SC (WYFF) - Greenville Hospital System said it is investigating whether 11 patients were potentially exposed to Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease (CJD).
The hospital released a statement saying the patients could have been exposed during neurological surgeries due to the surgical instruments being used on a patient later diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disorder.
All instruments were sterilized according to rigorous U.S. protocols, according to the release.
The release said the CJD patient's diagnosis wasn't known at the time of the surgery, and the Centers for Disease Control recommends that instruments that have come into contact with CJD undergo additional sterilization.
The hospital said the surgeries took place at Greenville Memorial Hospital in February.
According to the hospital, there is an extremely low risk of transmission.
The statement from the hospital said in the United States, there has never been a case of CJD transmission through surgical instruments.
GHS partnered with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Prion Center on its investigation.
Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease affects about one person in every one million people per year worldwide.
"This is a very unusual event," said Dr. Thomas Diller, GHS' vice president of quality and patient safety. "After a full assessment and discussion with the CDC, we believe the risk of transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease to any patient is extremely small. We also value transparency and thus notified all patients who could be affected by this potential exposure." Copyright 2012 WIS. All rights reserved.
