Over 700 infants potentially exposed to TB at Texas hospital
Published time: September 20, 2014 20:45
At least 700 infants may have been exposed to tuberculosis in the nursery area of a Texas hospital. The babies were put at risk of catching the contagious disease by a member of staff who was infected, health officials said.
Forty hospital employees were also put at risk of catching the disease. City Department of Public Health officials told AP that the exposure happened between September 2013 and August 2014 at Providence Memorial Hospital in El Paso.
The bacteria that causes TB can lie undetected for months or years before it eventually causes a breakout of the illness. It is contracted through germs spread by the coughs or sneezes of an infected person.

Hospitals have become the worst infection and bacteria breeding grounds these days. God forbid that myself or family has stay in one for any length of time.
