Tuberculosis outbreak at Chicago migrant shelters sparks urgent contact tracing as officials say a FIFTH of Latin American arrivals carry the disease

Tuberculosis cases have been detected at migrant facilities in Chicago following a recent measles outbreak in the city’s shelters, sparking health officials to urgently start contact tracing.

The Chicago Department of Public Health did not disclose the exact number of cases or which shelter it originated from but confirmed that ‘a small number of cases’ were reported ‘in a few different shelters’ around the city.

‘These outbreaks happen in close quarters, people who are living close to one another,’ associate professor of medicine, Infectious Diseases and Global Health at the University of Chicago Dr. Aniruddha Hazra told Fox 32 Chicago.

Hazra said the situation is concerning, but that the public does not need to panic.
