TB tests planned after Galena Park student tests positive.
About 300 Galena Park High School students and staff members will be tested for tuberculosis as a precaution after a student tested positive for the disease earlier this month.Workers with Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services will perform the skin tests on May 5 on those who have had the most contact with the infected student during the spring semester, said Craig Eichhorn, spokesman for the Galena Park school district. The results will be determined on May 7.
The test date was chosen because health officials didn't want to interfere with upcoming TAKS testing and wanted to give parents plenty of time to turn in consent forms, Eichhorn said. (Link.)
Gotta get those tests done, eh? No Child Left Behind and all, y'know! Hopefully, no one will get infected with TB during testing.
Sheesh.
The resurgence of TB and other illnesses has a lot to do with uncontrolled immigration.
