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 Memorial Health in Jeffersonville told Fox News Digital on Thursday that it sent out hundreds of letters to those possibly affected following the confirmed case.
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.
