Natasha: Justin I am curious, do we
have any idea how many students are

Those numbers are being calculated

43-percent of the students are elgibile

ACCORDING TO PUBLISHED REPORTS THE MAN
IS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGN OF SICKNESS.

LIKE ALL TUBERCULOSIS THIS RARE FORM
CAN LAY DORMANT FOR YEARS.

HOWEVER, ONCE SYMPTOMS START THEY'RE
VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP... AND MANY
PATIENTS END UP DYING.

(SOT-Dr. Betty Finnk/Memorial

"hospitals are constantly vigilant to
watch out for this type of disease."

INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERT BETTY FINNK
SAYS WHILE NORMAL T-B CAN BE TREATED
WITH ANTIBIOTICS... MEDICINE HAS LITTLE

THAT HAS HEALTH OFFICIALS ACROSS THE

"It's definitely a potential for the

A 37-year-old woman who's dying of

of course, viewers also get to play a
