TEAYS VALLEY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A local law firm says it is hoping to get some answers for people after a recent injection scare at an outpatient clinic in Charleston.

The Prim Law Firm had an advertisement in the Tuesday edition of the Charleston Gazette asking clients of Dr. J.K. Lilly at Appalachian Pain Clinic to please contact them if they were treated at the clinic between April 27th and May 13th, 2009.

The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department has not released the name of the clinic where "significant infection control breaches occurred," but according to a news release from the department, the dates of patients possibly affected are the same as those listed in the law firm advertisement.

The Health Department says that patients stand a small theoretical risk of blood-borne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis C and B.

Dr. J.K. Lilly tells WSAZ.com he appreciated the opportunity to tell his side of the story but didn't want to "try (the case) in the media."

Lilly says the investigation continues and his office is cooperating.

Meantime, attorney Brian Prim tells WSAZ.com that he's heard from grandmothers fearful of holding their grandchildren and teachers afraid to return to school.

Dr. Rahul Gupta is the director of the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. He tells WSAZ.com, "We did not find any evidence of definitive transmission in these patients. In that situation the overall risk of disease transmission of one of these diseases Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C and HIV at a population level is very low, so the individuals need to understand that their risk is low. It's a dangerous situation but their risk is not that high, but again it's not zero."

All patients affected by the initial staph infection that tipped the health department off to this situation have been treated and released from the hospital.
