News Briefs Mississippi Casino Workers Tested for TuberculosisOctober 31, 2002 In Biloxi, Miss., about 250 Treasure Bay Casino employees will be tested for TB after a casino employee was diagnosed with the disease. The employee, whose identity is unknown even to the casino, worked in one of the gambling departments, said Bernie Burkholder, chair and CEO of Treasure Bay. The employee has not worked at the casino since Sept. 24. State epidemiologist Dr. Mary Currier said the Mississippi Department of Health is testing those employees who worked in closest proximity to the infected person. If a high rate of infection shows up in those employees, more workers and gamblers will be tested, she said.
