[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444859, member: 1883"] There's actually still quite a bit of TB out there. Working in the prison, we'd see it every once in a while, especially from those that had lived "on the fringes", including a lot of the serious drug addicts. The employees could be fired for refusing an annual TB skin test but they couldn't force the inmates to be tested. Most of them cooperated but a few didn't. We had an incident a few years ago where two inmates who had previously tested positive had slacked off on taking their medication and as a result, several others that lived in their housing unit suddenly converted over to "Positive" on their skin tests. They came in like storm troopers and removed them all to a medical unit for treatment. They can't force them to be tested or to take the medication but they can isolate them if they show up with active TB. But yes, TB is still out there. [/QUOTE]
