JANE JAFFEE, as Mother and Natural Guardian of JASON CLAIBORNE, an Infant, Appellant, v. NEW YORK HOSPITAL, Respondent.

Since the complaint was served more than 10 years after the alleged misdiagnosis on May 25, 1980, as well as more than 10 years after the return visits in 1980, all claims relating to those visits were properly dismissed as time barred (CPLR 208), even if those visits constituted, as plaintiff contends, "distinct" acts of malpractice. In any event, the record indicates that the 1980 return visits were for continuous treatment of the original diagnosis of H. influenza meningitis and septic arthritis; as the IAS Court noted, "[b]ased on Daniel J. v. New York City Health Hospitals Corp., 77 N.Y.2d 630 (1991) the infant toll (CPLR 208) and the continuous treatment toll (CPLR 214-a) do not run consecutively".

Concur — Rosenberger, J.P., Asch, Rubin, Williams and Tom, JJ.
