Audrey Serrano, age 45, sued Dr. Kwan Lai on a medical negligence theory claiming that she was misdiagnosed as having HIV in the late 1990s and was negligently treated for an infection that she did not have. She further claimed that as a direct result of the mis-diagnosis she suffered depression, chronic fatigue, loss of weight and appetite and inflammation of the intestine.
Dr. Lai denied wrongdoing and asserted that she had no reason to question Serrano's original diagnosis at another clinic because Serrano convinced her she had HIV when she took her personal history, and her blood had abnormal amounts of cells used to fight infections. She claimed that she complied with the standard of care in caring for an treating her patient.
