TB outbreak in cork

Screening for TB is to begin on Monday for more than 200 primary school children and staff at a Cork school.

Three pupils tested positive for the disease in the kast two weeks. All of those infected are now under specialist paediatric care.

The source of the outbreak is not yet clear.

The people most likely to catch the disease are those living with a person with the infection.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the class went to Africa or India on their summer holidays. Although it's making a comeback in the First World now, and getting more and more resistant to the antibiotics.
