Florida: Student, 10, Tests Positive for Tuberculosis
November 21, 2002 A fourth-grader at Treasure Island Elementary Community School in Miami Beach, Fla., has tested positive for TB, school officials said. The 10-year-old boy, whose identity has not been released, has been out of school since Nov. 4. It was not known early Thursday if other students have been tested for, or become infected with, the disease. Students will be given a three-day program of medication if they were in close contact with the infected boy, officials said. Students were expected to be given letters from Miami-Dade county health officials to take home to parents on Thursday.
