Serial Hep C Infector Sentenced

A traveling medical technician who infected dozens of patients in multiple states with hepatitis C through tainted syringes has been sentenced to 39 years in a New Hampshire prison.

David Kwiatkowski, 34, worked as a cardiac technologist in 18 hospitals in seven states, including Maryland before being hired at New Hampshire's Exeter Hospital in 2011, moving from job to job despite being fired at least four times over allegations of drug use and theft. Since his arrest last year, 46 people in four states have been diagnosed with the same strain of hepatitis C he carries.

Kwiatkowski worked at four hospitals in Maryland, including the VA Hospital in Baltimore, Johns Hopkins, and Maryland General.
