National News North Dakota State Summer School Student Diagnosed With TuberculosisSeptember 19, 2003 About 50 people in Fargo, N.D., may be tested for TB because of possible contact with a North Dakota State University summer school student who has the disease. NDSU officials said Thursday that the unidentified student is at home in Grand Forks County while receiving treatment. This is the second case of TB at NDSU in the last 2.5 years. In April 2001, about 1,000 people were tested after a student developed TB. That student had lived on campus for several months before being diagnosed, according to Gary Narum, NDSU Wellness Center director. "The individual in our current situation came in contact with far fewer people during the summer months and while living off campus," he said.
