Tuberculosis is a bacterial infec
tion which can lead to pneumoni
symptoms and lung infection.
As a precaution, beginning to
day and continuing next week
these students will take a free T1
skin test to determine if they havi
come in contact with the bacteriun
that causes tuberculosis.
The diagnosis of the test wil
take several weeks or months be
fore any conclusions or results an
made.
If a student's skin test is fount
positive, it indicates the studen
has had contact with the TI
germs, although it does not neces
sarily mean the student has the TE
disease, Turner said.
A student who is found with i
positive skin test will be treated bj
