Two University of Washington Tacoma students have been infected with tuberculosis, so the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department is telling students and faculty to make sure they get tested.
The department announced Tuesday in a news release that it will conduct testing Nov. 7 and 8 on the UWT campus, with results available two days after the test.
The department learned of the first case, a Pierce County resident, in April, and of the second, a King County resident, in September.
Both cases were considered to be a low exposure risk to the public, the department said.
Already, 238 people, mainly students, have been notified and told they should get tested for tuberculosis.
