(CN) - Employees for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention need not testify about their investigation of a hepatitis C outbreak in Las Vegas, a federal judge ruled. Patients claim that they contracted, or were exposed to, hepatitis C because doctors reused single-use vials of Propofol to anesthetize them for endoscopies. Since such procedures generally require 20 ml vials, the patients accused drugmakers of negligently distributing propofol in 50 ml vials.
