Couple: Herpes misdiagnosis devastating and embarrassing

A happily married couple, who endured a herpes misdiagnosis, have said they hope no other couple has to go through the stress, devastation, and utter embarrassment they suffered.

They were speaking after the doctor who made the misdiagnosis of the sexually transmitted infection was found guilty of poor professional performance.

Dr Iman Ekky, who works at the Drumcondra Clinic in Dublin, told the 36-year-old mother, who can only be identified as Patient A, that she had herpes.
