TB Update

August 31st, 2012 by flanews

The Florida Department of Health says Tuberculosis is not a major public safety threat. Cases of TB are down 25 percent across the state, but an outbreak in Jacksonville, mainly among the homeless, raised concerns earlier this year. Florida’s Surgeon General John Armstrong says the state has it under control.

“The story with tuberculosis in Florida is a success story. We have continued to see reduction in active TB in past years. Last year a 10 percent reduction form the previous year. This year we have 133 fewer cases,” said Armstrong.

Strike teams are in Jacksonville testing people exposed to people with TB.
