(via ) · July 24, 2008 · 8 AM

The Associated Press reports that the Southern Nevada Health District is identifying the two dates in 2007 when officials believe hepatitis C was transmitted between patients at the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.

In a report prepared for the district board on Thursday, officials say genetic testing traced the virus to patients treated on July 25, 2007, and on Sept. 21, 2007, the AP says.
