More Than 700 Infants Exposed to TB at El Paso Hospital: More than 700 infants at an El Paso hospital were exposed to tuberculosis (TB) by an employee of the hospital who was infected with the disease, reports CBS' Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate. About 40 other employees of the hospital were also infected.
Officials with the El Paso Department of Public Health (DPH) conducted a review of the medical and employment records at Providence Memorial Hospital, and said that the exposures occurred between September 2013 and August of this year. The source of the exposure was an employee diagnosed with active TB who worked in the hospital's post-partum and newborn nursery areas.
