Georgia: Health Officials Testing for TB at DeKalb School

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

December 13, 2002

On Friday, DeKalb County, Ga., health officials expect to wrap up TB testing for some 2,000 staff and students at Redan High School. Testing began Dec. 6 when officials learned that a person at the school -- who was removed and is currently being treated -- tested positive for an active form of the disease. Test results should be available by the middle of next week. Officials from CDC and the Georgia Division of Public Health have provided test kits and experts to analyze the data. In October, county officials began an unrelated TB investigation at Tucker High School after one person was found with an active case of TB and removed for treatment.
