Southern Nevada Health District TB Investigation Update

Date

The individual who was diagnosed with active TB disease was on 26 campuses and one training site before they were aware of there diagnosis and the case was reported to the Southern Nevada Health District. At this stage of the Health District’s investigation no exposures have been identified at eight of the campuses, individual notifications are occurring at 17 of the campuses for people identified as possibly having an exposure, and one broader exposure notification is occurring at Ruthe Deskin Elementary School.

The Health District is emphasizing that not everyone who may have been exposed will be infected and not everyone who is infected with TB has active disease. TB screening and testing are provided to identify cases of latent TB infection. People who have latent TB infection have no signs and symptoms of the disease. They are not sick and cannot spread the disease to others.
