Clark Memorial Health in Jeffersonville said on Thursday that it sent out hundreds of letters to those possibly affected following the confirmed case.
A hospital in Indiana where a staff member recently tested positive for tuberculosis has notified around 500 patients that they may have been exposed to the illness.
Clark County Health Officer Eric Yazel told the News and Tribune that it was a “significant exposure” and special clinics were held in early August to test those who were notified. “TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine,” it says. “A person with TB can die if they do not get treatment.”
