DENVER—A student at the University of Colorado-Denver has been diagnosed with an active case of tuberculosis and is receiving treatment.
University officials tell Denver’s KMGH-TV reports the student has been isolated. Health officials say the student has a treatable form of the bacterial disease.
A few students who may have been exposed are being tested. Dr. Randall Reves of the Denver Health Public Department says transmission of tuberculosis usually requires more than 100 hours of continued exposure indoors. He doesn’t anticipate other cases.
The student, whose name wasn’t released, likely will be isolated for about three weeks.
