Tuberculosis Case Leads to Testing of Some St. Louis University StudentsOctober 16, 2001 A student at St. Louis University contracted TB in the first week of October and was hospitalized. The student, who did not live in a campus residence hall, has since gone home. Students who may have come into contact with the patient have been notified that they need to undergo a tuberculin skin test. Last week, St. Louis Health Commissioner Melba Moore ordered that a city marshal be posted outside the man's hospital room to make sure he did not leave against medical advice. "The measures that were taken were routine," Moore said. St. Louis Post-Dispatch 10.16.01; Jennifer LeFleur  This article was provided by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
