infection

A new U.S report says poor care of contact lenses may be the main cause between the growing number of eye infections each year.

An investigation at St. Cloud Hospital is underway following the development of an unusual blood infection in 23 patients, all in the same hospital ward. Linda Chmielewski, the Vice President of Hospital Operations for St. Cloud Hospital, says the infection is believed to have been caused by a nurse piping narcotic pain killers from patients' IV bags.
