News Briefs Minnesota: St. Mary's University Determines TB Hasn't SpreadMay 12, 2003 Following extensive testing for tuberculosis on its Winona, Minn., campus, St. Mary's University received a clean bill of health. One student, who was diagnosed with active TB on Jan. 31, was treated and found to no longer be able to transmit the disease. Thirty-two students in close contact with the infected student were tested twice; all the tests were negative, the university said.
