San Diego County's Tuberculosis Control program worked Tuesday to notify staff, volunteers and clients potentially exposed to TB at various Father Joe's Villages programs.
The affected programs include Father Joe's inclement weather shelter, San Diego Day Center, food services, employment and education services, and Village Health Center, with the dates of potential exposure from Jan. 14 to March 3.
"This is called latent TB infection," she said."Some who become infected with tuberculosis will become ill in the future, sometimes even years later, if their latent TB infection is not treated. Blood tests and skin tests are effective to determine whether someone has been infected."
