Connecticut: Testing of Students Finds No Active TBMay 15, 2003 A month after a student at Brien McMahon High School in
Norwalk, Conn., was discovered to have active TB, none of the
hundreds of other students tested has been found to have an
active case. Fifteen students tested positive for TB over the
past two weeks. Six of the 15 students who tested positive had
been in contact with the student with TB, said Darlene Hoffler,
city supervisor of clinical services. All the students who tested
positive must have a chest X-ray by a physician. Overall, 515
students, faculty and staff were tested.
