Autopsy: Risks

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Autopsy: Risks

There are some risks of disease transmission from the deceased. In fact, some physicans may refuse to do autopsies on specific patients because of a fear of contracting diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis, or Creutzfeld-Jakob disease.

— Jeffrey P. Larson, RPT
