After Tuberculosis Break Out, Testing at GW

A suspected case of tuberculosis (TB) has been identified at the university, according to a statement released through GW InfoMail. Student Health Service and other GW administrators are working closely with the District of Columbia Department of Health (DOH), and have identified individuals in the GW community who were in close contact with the infected individual.

Tuberculosis testing will be going on in the Marvin Center basement room previously occupied by FedEx/Kinko's soon. However, media officials stressed "there is no need for the larger George Washington community to take any specific medical precautions or actions at this time."
