Review to be carried out at UHG after a dozen staff contracted TB
Galway Bay fm newsroom – A review is to be carried out into an incident at University Hospital Galway, which saw over a dozen staff members contract TB.
The matter was raised in the Dáil by Deputy Catherine Connolly, who cited the admittance of a patient with a history of the disease earlier this year.
She claimed that despite this history, the patient was not properly isolated and as a result over a dozen staff contracted latent TB
Latent TB may not cause illness and is not infectious – but the bacteria remains in the body forever and increases risk of developing TB later in life.
