TB Case Reported In Long Island: Teachers And Students Exposed

Thursday, May 22, 2025 14:49

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Tuberculosis, also called TB, has been reported in Long Island, New York. Teachers and students at Sachem East High School may have been exposed to the deadly disease. More than 100 students and staff members have already been tested for TB.

A student infected with tuberculosis attended the school located in Suffolk County, Long Island, earlier this month. A broader outbreak of this disease could spark panic because of its severity.

TB is a serious illness that mainly affects the lungs. It is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website, TB can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, the kidneys, or the spine. TB can also affect multiple parts of the body at the same time. For example, TB can affect both the lungs and lymph nodes.

According to a report by Yahoo News, a letter was sent to the parents of students who may have been exposed to an individual who currently has tuberculosis, FOX 5 NY‘s Jodi Goldberg reports. The letter was also sent to staff members.

The letter was sent to over 120 students and staff on May 15th.

The symptoms of TB can be quite severe and include:

Cough
Coughing up blood or mucus
Chest pain
Pain with breathing
Fever
Chills
Night sweats
Weight loss
Loss of appetite
Fatigue

Symptoms will likely worsen over time as the disease progresses without treatment and can be fatal. However, not everyone infected with the TB bacterium becomes sick. As a result, two TB-related conditions exist: inactive TB (or latent TB infection) and active TB disease. Those with inactive TB do not present symptoms, do not feel sick, and cannot spread the TB disease to others. Those with active TB are ill and can spread the bacterium, infecting other people.
