Baltimore: Middle School Pupils, Teachers to Be Screened for TBDecember 10, 2002 A seventh-grader at Old Court Middle School has tested positive for tuberculosis, the Baltimore County school system said yesterday. County health workers are preparing to test classmates and teachers who might have come in contact with the pupil, said Charles A. Herndon, a school system spokesperson. The pupil, who was not identified, was found to have the communicable disease about a week ago, said school spokesperson Douglas J. Neilson. The seventh-grader has a sibling at Winand Elementary School, but the sibling did not contract the disease and the system has no plans to test pupils at that school, Neilson said.
