Tuberculosis outbreak in St. Maarten blamed on stripper
Infection Control Monitor, October 26, 2007
Dozens of people in St. Maarten are being treated for latent tuberculosis after a stripper was diagnosed with an active form of the disease, reported the Associated Press (AP).
Health officials warned that people may have been exposed to the illness by the exotic dancer. At least 40 people tested positive after the health department treated the dancer several months ago, the AP reported. Health officials believe they have identified everyone infected after they launched a public campaign, urging anyone who had contact with the woman to seek treatment.
