Lab Mystery: How Did Worker Get HIV Infection?
Italian researchers are trying to unravel a frightening mystery: How did a European laboratory worker become infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from a non-infectious strain?
"We are looking at a perfect storm of errors," Claudia Alteri, PhD, a researcher at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, told MedPage Today. "We cannot exclude any mode of infection at this time."
At the annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, she explained that her laboratory was asked to investigate the incident, which did not occur in Italy.
