Hospital officials say a UW and Veterans Hospital caregiver has tested positive for a form of TB.
Officials say the provider’s form of TB is not thought to be contagious.
Officials say the health care provider was sick for about 2 weeks, was admitted to the hospital, and then it was determined the person had TB.
The caregiver is on antibiotics and as a precaution those who worked closely with the individual will be tested for TB.
