New York Healthcare Worker Exposes Babies to TB

New York City-based St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital is sending notifications to hundreds of parents after a maternity ward worker's most recent tuberculosis test came back positive, according to a report from the New York Daily News.

The hospital is apparently taking steps to remedy the situation but is keeping information under wraps. The hospital has not released how far back the exposure might extend, though one set of parents who contacted the New York Daily News said their child was more than 2 months old.
