“At least a dozen people who had routine operations claim they caught deadly viruses and other germs from body parts stolen from corpses in a ghoulish scandal that has sent hundreds of people for tests. The patients tested positive for germs that cause AIDS, hepatitis or syphilis after receiving tissue transplants, according to their lawyers and court records. Lawsuits have been filed for two Midwestern men, one in Nebraska and one in Ohio. Both claim they caught a hepatitis virus from the tissue implanted in back and spine operations, a contention that lawyers acknowledge will be difficult to prove. Lawyers for both men say they know of no other factors that would put their clients at risk for hepatitis. ‘It pretty much turned my world upside down,’ said one of the patients, Ned Jackson, 49, of Omaha, Neb.” (04/29/06)
