Can Multiple Myeloma Spread By Needle Stick Injury?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Well, i just pricked by a saline needle of my father's who is suffering from MM. So I was wondering if there is any chances of multiple myeloma to get spread by Needle stick injury?

No, you can't catch myeloma from a needle stick injury. But you can get other things like hepatitis and HIV. Hera, you should be using a needleless system to flush his lines.

Greetings from Anchorage I’ve never heard of myeloma being transferred from a needle stick but for Your piece of mind you may want to contact medical for advice. By the way how is your father doing with his treatments. May God bless you

Thanks, actually your answer helps me a lot. My father is doing okay with his targetted therapy but recently they did radiotherapy so as a side effect he is suffering from major diarrhoea and that's why to add some fluids he was on saline.
