Five babies in Texas test positive for TB after possible mass exposure - Yahoo News
The El Paso Department of Public Health also increased the number of people who may have been exposed to 858. It had said earlier this month that 706 babies and 43 employees were possibly exposed to the infected worker between September 2013 and August 2014.
"It is important to point out that they (the babies) are not considered to have active TB disease," it said of the five who tested positive for the potentially deadly respiratory disease.
The employee, working in a nursery at Providence Memorial Hospital in El Paso, interacted with patients for months before being diagnosed with the disease, the department said.
Health and hospital officials were working to contact the affected families and would provide screening and follow-up care free of charge.
Tuberculosis, a potentially fatal disease that generally affects the lungs, can lay dormant in a person's body for months or years and is spread when person with an active case coughs, sneezes, or speaks, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Yeah, that organized open door policy allowing children with diseases from Mexico and Central America for political expediency sure was a good plan.
Hey, not only will it edify the Hispanic vote for the democrats and build their 5 decade long narrative that mean white right republicans hate all brown people (especially brown children) but it will also force millions in this country to rely on the disaster known as obamacare. Something that the morons on the left insist is a success, while being an epic failure.
We warned you about the potential of disease coming into this country and it is happening. From a mysterious incurable respiratory disease that spreading, but also TB.
Which btw the socialist in chief knew about, and that was the reason he did not go visit the area. Cause the Secret Service did not want the pathetic president exposed to the diseases they know are flowing into the country.
Fucking liberals folks. Thanks you fucking morons.
