Dates of potential exposure are from Jan. 14 to March 3
San Diego County’s Tuberculosis Control program worked Tuesday to notify staff, volunteers and clients potentially exposed to tuberculosis at various Father Joe’s Villages programs.
TB is an airborne disease that is transmitted from person-to-person through inhalation of the bacteria from the air. People with active tuberculosis are often unaware they have the disease and may be contagious for several months before being diagnosed. Most people who are exposed to TB do not become infected.“Symptoms of active TB include persistent cough, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss,” said Dr. Wilma Wooten, county public health officer.
According to the county Health and Human Services Agency, people experiencing homelessness are at increased risk for TB for a variety of reasons. Those reasons include a higher risk for getting infected in congregate settings, challenges regarding access to health care and the presence of certain medical conditions that may be more common and/or severe among people experiencing homelessness.
